Green Venture

Help us gather data on Mini Forests in Hamilton! Over 400 trees have been planted within just 300 m², creating a rich and diverse green space and home for many native species. Evaluating Windermere East Park's Mini Forest outcomes involves looking at factors such as tree growth rates, seedling survivorship, herbivory, and disease.

Regardless of prior experience, everyone is welcome and appreciated at this stewardship event. Make sure to bring your friends and family, let's grow together!

Location: 105 Eastport Dr, Hamilton, ON L8H 7S4

What to wear: Be sure to wear closed-toed shoes, long pants, a sunhat, sunscreen, and bring lots of water. There is no washroom on site and no access to water.

Transportation + Parking: This site is best accessed by vehicle; however, you can take bus 11 to Beach Boulevard and walk. To avoid walking on Eastport, you can access the park from the south at the "Windermere Basin Park Pedestrian Access".

Help Barn Swallows! Volunteer Planting.
Bird Friendly Hamilton, Burlington and Green Venture are thrilled to support Glenn Meldrum's Barn Swallow nesting structure. This was made possible by Nature Canada.

We're looking for people to meet us at 9 am on Sept 9th, at Johnson Tew Park to plant 625 native plants to attract insects Barn Swallows need to survive!
