The Convent Glen Orleans Wood Environment Committee is focused on helping build a vibrant and sustainable local community where people, plants, and animals live harmoniously together. To achieve this, the committee focuses on environmental issues including addressing and building resilience to climate change, reducing pollution and supporting native ecosystems. Our activities include: annual spring clean-up days, the establishment and care of a native plant pollinator garden at Orleans Wood Elementary School, growing and selling native plant seedlings, Repair Cafes, and information nights with community experts.
