Stewardship & Biodiversity

native plants
226+
bags of litter
One big impact of climate change is biodiversity loss. As such, we work to enhance Milton’s biodiversity by planting trees, tending to community gardens, providing homes for bats, and educating the community on the importance of native plants.
Circular Economy

repairs undertaken
An important aspect of environmentalism is understanding the circular economy. Reducing waste to a minimum involves repairing, refurbishing and refusing to buy things we don’t need. To promote this idea we hold Repair Cafés and Trunk Shares.

We meet with various levels of government to discuss environmental issues and their solutions.

At our Repair Cafés, people learn how to repair small appliances.
