Our Initiatives

Aylmer Butterflyway

Our local chapter of the David Suzuki Foundation’s national Butterflyway Project — building corridors of pollinator habitat across Aylmer, one stop at a time.

Miyawaki Tiny Forests

High-density, ultra-diverse pocket forests that grow 10x faster than traditional plantings — rapid reforestation for small urban spaces.

Rain Gardens

Nature’s sponge — shallow, landscaped gardens that capture and filter rainwater while creating beautiful pollinator habitat.

Aylmer Seed Project

A community-wide mission to collect, share, and grow locally adapted seeds — from native wildflowers to heirloom vegetables.

Public Space Revitalizations

Transforming underused lawns and schoolyards into vibrant, living classrooms and pollinator havens across our neighborhood.
