A message from Martin Willison <willison@dal.ca> to Sustainable Maritimes (sust-mar) subscribers.
From: Sarah Brierley <sarah@evergreen.ca>

Hello,

I am searching for sources of enviro-community events in Halifax for
April/May, such as tree plantings, invasive species culling, community
clean-ups, nature walks.

The aim is to do a national web posting of these events, to bring together
volunteers (members of the public) and events, to give people a "hands-on"
experience.

Do you know of any  such events this spring?

Can you suggest any Halifax environmental/community groups which organize
such events?

I'd be most grateful for any suggestions, as I have a deadline of Fri. April
4 on this!

To give you a bit of background on Evergreen, Canada's national,
not-for-profit urban environmental group:

Evergreenšs mission is to bring communities and nature together for the
benefit of both.  We engage people in creating and sustaining healthy,
dynamic outdoor spaces - in our schools, our communities and our homes. We
believe that local stewardship creates vibrant neighbourhoods, a healthy
natural environment and a sustainable society for all.

Thank you very much!

Please feel free to pass this on to any organizations that might have
listings they'd like to  send me.
