Welcome to our What’s New page! Here, you will find our latest updates, announcements and resources. This is the place to stay informed on exciting projects, research, upcoming events and insights to help you take action against biodiversity loss.
Be sure to check back here often to stay in the know as we continue to share new ideas, stories, and exciting ways we can work together for a greener future!
As part of our ongoing Biodiversity public literacy campaign, we’ve partnered with Prof. Nina-Marie Lister and the Ecological Design Lab on their national Bylaws for Biodiversity research, along with Nature Canada and FLAP Canada, to develop all new Gardening for Biodiversity resources.
Together, we’ve created a series of free, fact-based downloadable PDFs to help communities and individuals learn how to cultivate biodiversity and support for wildlife habitat in our yards and on our balconies!
This initiative serves as a collaborative repository, bringing together valuable tools and reputable resources from our organizations, all in one accessible collection, designed to simplify your gardening journey.
This series includes four comprehensive fact sheets (with more to be developed in the future), each focusing on key aspects of biodiversity gardening:
01 – Yard Naturalization: A ‘How-to’ Guide
02 – Myths & Misconceptions: Naturalized Gardens, Ticks, Mice, Rats, & Other Pests
03 – Bird-Friendly Gardens: Supporting Bird Habitat for Every Season
04 – Good Garden Practices: Underrated Practices & Top Plant Picks
