Building a resilient Milton, together.
We advocate for an environmentally responsible Milton and work to reduce the impacts of climate change in our community through community engagement, education, and advocacy.
By working together with individuals, businesses, and the government, we can create lasting change for present and future generations.

Good Earth Maker's Market
Saturday, Oct. 24
10 am to 5 pm
Milton Fair Grounds, Hall #1
Free admission
As part of our commitment to more sustainable lifestyles, our Maker Market will showcase local artisans and locally sourced products. We are especially delighted to feature talented artisans who give new life to materials that might otherwise be discarded. Recycled objects are transformed into beautiful and useful pieces, while upcycled fabrics become fabulous chairs, jackets, dresses, and other one-of-a-kind creations. Sometimes the most imaginative things come from seeing possibilities in materials others might overlook. Use the link below to for more information on the artisans.
Stewardship & Biodiversity
3278
native plants
312+
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
223
repairs undertaken
Future House since 2024
Trunk Share since 2024
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 host lectures and workshops for the community, schools, and culture groups. Ever had a close-up look at a salamander? Or tracked the sonar of a bat? Guests such as these are often seen at our lectures. Some other topics we cover include backyard composting and how to make healthy snacks. At our Repair Cafés, people learn how to repair small appliances.
