Today is #WorldBeeDay! 🐝 These critical pollinators are essential for global ecosystems and they need all the help they can get right now. This is the inspiration behind #NoMowMay – by avoiding mowing at the beginning of the spring, early bloomers like clover and dandelions are left to nourish bees and other pollinators. ☘️

Whether you’re a farmer, a gardener or just someone who eats food (read: everyone!), we all have a role to play in protecting and celebrating these un-bee-lievable powerhouses of the animal kingdom. 🐝

P.S. Green roofs are another great way to support bees! If you’re local to Vancouver, check out the green roof tour next Tuesday, May 26 led by our partners @grin_bc to learn more about the benefits for nature and communities.

#ActionAlert for Toronto! There's just under an hour left to show your support for noise cameras in your city.

Many of our projects to protect green spaces share a common thread: the areas at risk are home to endangered species. From the Jefferson salamander in Mount Nemo, to the Little Brown Myotis bat in Inverhuron, to the Hine’s emerald dragonfly in Springwater Township, these species critically need our help.

On this #EndangeredSpeciesDay, we want to recognize everyone who is fighting to protect priceless ecosystems and their inhabitants across the country. Because of people like you, these species stand a fighting chance.

Exciting news! We are teaming up with @smallchangefundto hire for two roles: Social Media Coordinator and Community Organizing Coordinator.

Both roles would support Small Change Fund’s partnership project with 350.org, Elevating Community-Rooted Climate Justice in Canada. This project aims to change harmful energy policies and expose the real costs of pollution. We equip climate organizers with the tools, resources, and skills to engage the public, organize in their communities, and mobilize to demand strong climate action policies and secure institutional wins that reduce emissions and advance justice.

🤝🌳Small Change Fund Partnership
We have joined forces with @smallchangefundon a fundraising campaign called Revive the Yorklands: A Community Vision for Nature and Belonging.

We need to keep the momentum on advocating for the protection of this beautiful gem in our city and for building a generation of caring stewards.
A place where nature, learning, and community thrive for everyone.

Funds drive our efforts to keep the Ontario Reformatory lands protected as public greenspace. Your donations will also support year-round community programming focused on stewardship activities for both young and old. If you donate to our joint project, you will receive a tax receipt through the charitable organization, Small Change Fund.
Join us in bringing this vision to life — watch the video and visit our website to learn more!

Natural gardener Karen Barnes returns to court today to fight for her right to cultivate a biodiverse habitat on her property – and set a precedent for natural gardeners across the country.
