Greenspaces

Our Greenspaces Working Group is active in a number of areas – whether getting our hands dirty with a top-secret planting mission, cleaning up a greenway or advocating for the well-being of a neighbourhood park.  

Urban & Regional Parks
There are hundreds of parks, gardens, beaches and greenways located in the city and the surrounding region.  The VPSN engages in advocacy work to ensure these important public spaces continue to act as a legacy for residents and visitors alike.

Guerrilla Gardening & Urban Forestry
Vancouver’s neighbourhoods are full of grey, under-used spaces.  Our philosophy?  Green them!  Guerrilla gardening and tree-planting is an excellent way to animate abandoned lots, laneways and boulevards. | More >>		 Guerrilla Gardening
