We launched our 25 Days of Giving campaign to raise $2500 for our programming and events. And here’s why we are so proud….

For 25 years, Oakvillegreen’s  focus has been on “Protecting nature where you Live”, and 100% of our resources and effort are in Oakville. As an environmental charity, we empower local citizens to get involved directly in Oakville’s natural environment. We believe that tackling climate change can start right here and now.

 Oakvillegreen works hand-in-hand with thousands of volunteers and community partners to restore the ecological functions of local lands and waters, creating a more resilient and connected community. 

We are proud of our impact: To date Oakvillegreen has engaged over 16,000 volunteers, inspired over 30,000 students, and planted over 40,000 trees – all right here in Oakville.

You CAN make a difference to improving Halton’s environment right where you live. Join us at any of our events to see how. 

Oakvillegreen formed in 1999 to fight for the creation of a Natural Heritage System north of Highway 5 to protect 30% of the then privately owned, undeveloped land. Ultimately, Oakvillegreen won the decision to add these private lands to the Natural Heritage System. This decision created a key urban greenspace and preserved keynorth-south and east west connected ecological corridors.

Programming has evolved over the years, to include education programs and planting and restoration programs which get people outside to appreciate, protect and enhance the natural areas where they live.

Although less visible, we are proud of our advocacy work on many issues, like advocating to protect Glen Abbey Golf Course from development, opposing tree removal on Lakeshore Blvd West and the passage of Oakville’s private tree protection bylaw to name a few.

We are delighted to welcome longtime volunteers and encourage those new to our community to jump in and join the fun.

Many equate our accomplishments to a barn -raising, where the action of many, creates a dramatic product and an empowering feeling of satisfaction. We make it easy to get involved and join in.

To celebrate 25 years, we launched a campaign 25 Days of Giving  with a goal to raise $2500.
