Welcome to Environment Hamilton Blog

Welcome to the Environment Hamilton's Blog!
I'm  Beatrice Ekwa Ekoko, the Volunteer and Membership Outreach Coordinator for Environment Hamilton.

Here, you'll find out why being a member or a volunteer of Environment Hamilton is lots of fun.
You'll be able to get more details about upcoming events, past events, planned events and other project information.
In the past few months we held a lichen monitoring workshop with Katie Stiel's project Good Neighbour Campaign and learned how to assess the health of trees in our community. This technique is one that was developed by our very own member, George Sorger, a professor at McMaster University.

Along with the eat local project, we helped educate local people about bee's and honey for 'February is Farm month.' This took place at the Hamilton Farmer's Market.
Volunteer gives us the buzz on bees!

 For members who wanted to learn about the Environmental Bill of Rights, Lynda Lukasik, Executive Director, gave a presentation where we learned how to use the registry to report our environmental concerns.
