What's happening at Oakvillegreen
The focus of the initiative is to educate and empower the community to continue enhancing existing pollinator pathways and creating habitat for species-at-risk such as the Monarch Butterfly. Oakvillegreen is going to be taking hands-on action this year with the help of our community, to restore Monarch habitat and support this species.
Happy holidays! In Oakville, we’ve had a bit of snow and chilly weather over this season but you may be wondering where our pollinator friends go during the winter. Unlike us, they don’t have fireplaces or warm homes to face the cold and must go to greater lengths to survive the season.

Celebrating the Oak Tree on National Tree Day
This summer, Oakvillegreen had a remarkable season of environmental stewardship activities, thanks to the unwavering dedication and exceptional efforts of our volunteers. We are delighted to recognize a select group of students as Oakvillegreen Youth Stewards, who participated in multiple events, gained hands-on environmental experience, and developed teamwork and leadership skills.
Torrential downpour. Streets flooding. Parks, sports fields, and golf courses closed. Power outages. Events cancelled. Since the beginning of summer, Oakville has already experienced over 250mm of rain (Hamilton, 2024). That exceeds our average rainfall during this season, and we’re only halfway through July. Such flash flooding and heavy thunderstorms are beyond unusual, so what’s causing this change in nature?
PS David Williams is an exceptional example of how youth can become educated, get involved, and make a difference in their community. Their students are future leaders, and their words are climate hope for us all.
