Evergreen BC
About
British Columbia is celebrated for its natural beauty and abundant green spaces. With more than 80% of British Columbians living in urban areas, these green spaces must be protected and maintained to thrive today and tomorrow.
Evergreen BC provides on-the-ground solutions to the restoration and care of these spaces.
Because nature in the city begins with all of us.

Evergreen BC's Vision
Through our unique offering of programs and activities dedicated to maintaining and creating sustainable urban green spaces, Evergreen BC is on the ground, making tangible change for the health of our cities.
Community Engagement
Evergreen offers countless ways to make change. By working with communities, residents, municipalities, and other non-profit organizations, Evergreen BC builds lasting partnerships, engages the community, and offers hands-on ways to make a difference.
Known for our expertise as community gardeners, stewards of public green spaces, and leaders in invasive species control, in every project our reach extends deeper.
Our naturalizations programs are creating change — in people, and in the sites we restore and create.
