Canada’s Biggest Wildlife Garden is Growing a Green Future
The vision for Canada’s Biggest Wildlife Garden connects Toronto to Windsor with healthy habitat to save local wildlife, water and our way of life.
The seeds we plant today will define our future. Thousands of people are growing hope with native plants to address the triple threat of extinction, climate and health crises in the spirit and practice of reconciliation.
5,000 volunteers are working together across 37,000 hectares, as of fall 2020. This is just the beginning - connecting 10,000 volunteers at home is a first critical step to save disappearing wildlife and grow healthy climate-smart neighbourhoods for wildlife and people.
Climate-smart Neighbourhoods for All
Canada's Biggest Wildlife Garden connects - urban to rural, wild to formal landscapes, beginners to experts, people to nature. It improves equitable access to ethical climate-adaptive native plants for healthy landscapes for all, including the most marginalized.
Growing just one native plant helps to reverse centuries of habitat loss.
Together we are planting seeds for a healthy planet.
Carolinian Canada partners and volunteers are making a big impact with healthy habitat to:
- Heal the land in the spirit and practice of reconciliation
- Save 500+ rare and endangered species
- Protect drinking water for 11 M people in the Great Lakes Basin and one fifth of the world's freshwater
- Boost soil health and local food
- Reduce flooding, drought and other extreme weather
- Create green jobs, clean air, climate-smart neighbourhoods for 25% of Canadians
- Support 14 UN Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration
Take the first step. Count Yourself In. Lead the Way in Your Community
