Spring is here, and the planet needs us to take action! BurlingtonGreen has many upcoming activities for the whole family, work teams and other groups to get outside in the fresh air while helping local nature.
Now through Oct 31, BurlingtonGreen’s free Community Clean Up is an eco-action opportunity for everyone in Burlington to get involved in collecting litter from parks, creeks, schoolyards and neighbourhoods. Free bags, gloves and tip sheets are available after you register.

While supplies last, kits for sun-loving, shade-loving, and monarch gardens are available. Each order includes a FREE packet of native wildflower seeds, prepared by BurlingtonGreen volunteers!
