Oakvillegreen’s 2025 Achievements!
Our Impact Your Support
This year, we were thrilled to engage our community through a wide range of hands-on environmental programs. More than 1200 volunteers participated in stewardship activities, and 950 students joined us for Biodiversity Discovery Walks, Bring Monarchs Back and Maples and Oaks programs, as well as in various stewardship events, each one designed to spark curiosity, connection, and a deeper understanding of the natural world.
Our Green Connections for Adults 55+ program also continued to flourish, welcoming over 400 participants to nature walks, forest bathing sessions, nature art workshops, and tree-planting experiences. These moments of learning, creativity, and reflection helped build a strong and supportive community of nature lovers.
We hit a record high for tree planting this year, with community members helping to plant
3,034 native trees that support healthier ecosystems and greener neighbourhoods. Stewardship teams worked just as hard on the ground, removing
117 bags of invasive plants to make room for native species to thrive.
Our pollinators benefited as well, with 526 native perennials planted to provide essential habitat and food. During our Milkweed Challenge, the community rallied once again as 200 milkweed plants were sold through our Native Plant Sale, helping support monarch butterflies across the region.
We are especially grateful to all volunteers, corporate and community groups who joined us this season in planting trees to grow Oakville’s urban forest. A heartfelt thank-you to Oakville Community Foundation, Human Nature Projects (HNP), Dr. David R. Williams PS, St. Mildred’s- Lightbourn School, Forest Trail Public School, Collins Aerospace, RBC, Halton Region, Oakville Chinese Seniors Network Society, Appleby College, TD, Siemens, Siemens Energy, Tree Canada, DLL Canada, Grant Thornton LLP, and the Town of Oakville for your support, time, and commitment to building a greener, more resilient community!
What an inspiring year, filled with shared energy, meaningful action, and lasting impact on our local habitats. We are excited for everything 2026 will bring and look forward to another impactful year. Thank you for contributing to a greener, more resilient Oakville - with sincere appreciation to our funders, supporters, community partners, and volunteers.
