Exciting changes at GreenUP Ecology Park

GreenUP has been offering opportunities for learning, skill-building, and environmental action in our community for over 25 years.

For children growing up in this region, the GreenUP Ecology Park has been a site of wonder, learning, and environmental immersion.

In 2018, with generous community support and donations, we enhanced facilities at GreenUP Ecology Park by building a new Children’s Education Shelter. This new building will help to strengthen our capacity to offer high quality outdoor programming, maximize the impact this unique facility can have on the health of children, and increase accessibility to enable a greater number of children to use the park.

You can help us reach our goal; you can donate now securely online.

You can also donate to the NEST Fund and receive an animal puppet – a great gift that gives twice!

For those looking for naming opportunities or giving larger gifts, please view our Major Donor Booklet

Continued plans for improvement at Ecology Park include replacing the hand washing station, and adding a drinking water station. They also include the installation of additional lighting and a fully accessible washroom.

As we look toward the future, community support remains as vital as ever to strengthen our capacity and educate our children in places like GreenUP Ecology Park. We are excited to continue strengthening our facilities to increase GreenUP’s capacity to educate the next generation of environmental stewards.
