I am an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking, camping, and spending time in nature with family and friends. Being outdoors rejuvenates my soul and inspires my commitment to environmental advocacy.

My name is Natasha and I am currently studying ecology at the University of British Columbia. I have always loved nature, so I am excited to have the opportunity to learn more about biodiversity and educate others in my community about the importance of plants and insects to the environment. I am an avid hiker and I often volunteer with restoration groups in the areas I frequent, including Pacific Spirit Park and the Camosun Bog in Vancouver.

Moreover, I am an executive on the UBC Botany Enthusiast Club, where we work to help students reconnect with nature and promote growing native plants and pollinators. I love insects and have a large bug collection that I am continuing to expand, so I can often be found inspecting leaves and rocks for critters around Toronto. I am very glad to be working with Green Neighbours Network this summer and can’t wait to see what we find.

Hello! My name is Jessie, and I recently graduated from York University with an Honours Bachelor degree in Biology. During my studies, I have completed and defended an Honours Thesis in animal physiology, specifically investigating how changes in water temperature affect the osmoregulatory strategies of freshwater fish. I am passionate about understanding the ways that organisms adapt to environmental stressors, and I will be continuing this research as a Master’s student in Biology this upcoming Fall semester.

Through this internship at Green Neighbours Network, I am excited to learn from my peers and mentors how to be an effective advocate for environmental sustainability. I am eager to gain practical experience in community engagement, develop skills in promoting biodiversity, and contribute to initiatives that protect and restore native habitats. I look forward to applying my academic knowledge to real-world challenges and collaborating with others who are equally passionate about making a positive impact on our environment.

I’m Jahreleaseya - I just finished my fourth year of Environmental Biology at TMU. As a child, I was lucky enough to travel with my grandparents up north to many famous provincial parks. This early exposure to the environment through playing in the dirt and connecting with wildlife and nature has allowed me to gain a great appreciation for nature and bring that passion back to the city.

Furthermore, I’m passionate about citizen science and making science and conservation accessible and digestible to all. I have experience working in native plant horticulture and environmental education - as well as communications for nonprofit organizations like GNN. I love helping others to learn about urban ecosystems and what we can do to keep them thriving for generations to come. I'm very much looking forward to promoting the many partners that the GNN is connected with to help create a greener and more sustainable city. In my free time, I love hiking, watercolour painting, and spending time with my tortoiseshell cat.

Our focus is to bringing back bees, birds and butterflies into gardens and landscapes by educating students and gardeners on the importance of planting native plants and on adapting new wildlife friendly garden practices and acting on it.

EcoSpark is an environmental charity whose mission is to empower communities to take an active role in protecting and sustaining their local environment. We do this by giving people the tools for education, monitoring and influencing positive change.

Since 1996, EcoSpark has connected people to their local environment through education, monitoring and stewardship. We have a strong reputation in the areas of community engagement, education, citizen science, facilitation and collaboration. To date, we have directly worked with over 80,000 people from across Southern Ontario in over 20 watersheds.

Globalization ensures that invasive species will continue to arrive, establish, and cause significant disruption in our ecosystems, leading to major global change. My research aims to increase our ability to manage such species through improved understanding of community interactions that affect the natural enemies regulating their populations. I explore questions related to population mortality, shifts in community diversity, and novel associations in forest insect communities, with focus on understanding interactions between native and non-native natural enemies and their food web associates. 

My research team conducts primary ecological studies proposed on insect-insect and insect-plant interactions here, work that elucidates key mechanisms driving changes in composition and diversity over time, as well as potential avenues for mitigating negative impacts in our forests. Species interactions underpin the invasion theories of enemy release and biotic resistance, which are a major thrust of my core research. There is a great need to understand such processes in invaded forests, and my research program represents one of the few academic groups in Canada actively working in this area of invasive species and biological control in forest ecosystems.

Small Change Fund acts as a catalyst for individuals and grassroots organizations. We work together with partners to improve the environment; reduce poverty; and promote reconciliation efforts across Canada including working with Indigenous Peoples to support the protection of their lands, waters and communities.

We are a capacity support engine and have helped more than 270 organizations across the country, raising over $15M for projects, the majority of which tackle environmental and climate-related issues.

Walking and rolling can be wonderful ways to get around the city – if streets and sidewalks are safe and accessible.

WalkRollMap.org is a crowdsourcing tool for mapping micro barriers to accessible walking and rolling. What is a micro barrier? Anything that makes it harder (or maybe even impossible!) to walk or roll safely or comfortably in your community. It might be a missing crosswalk, uneven payment, or unplowed snow. You can also report if you’ve been hit while walking or rolling, had a near miss, or a fall. Created with funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada.

If you are a cyclist, there’s a mapping tool for you too – visit BikeMaps.org.

Hello! My name is Beatrix Maddocks and I have recently graduated from the University of Guelph with a Bachelor of Commerce degree, where I majored in Marketing Management and minored in Sustainable Business. My degree allowed me to recognize the potential that marketing can have in influencing sustainable behaviour, educating the public on environmental issues, and essentially, driving environmental change throughout society. I have previously worked as an Enumerator for Statistics Canada collecting census data, so with this role, I am excited to connect my past experience with my passion for sustainability.

Learning about the impacts of climate change in high school ultimately drove my passion for sustainability and my desire to create change. While working as an Enumerator, I realized the impact communication can have on influencing behaviour. With this in mind, I believe that connecting with business owners regarding single-use plastics can go a long way in creating change in the industry.

I recently graduated with an Honours Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto, majoring in global health and nutritional sciences, and minoring in equity studies. In the world around me, I constantly see the connections between the environment and health. I have a background in studying the health aspect of these connections, and through this job, I wish to dive deeper into understanding the environmental side. Further, I am eager to promote sustainability to the public and analyze data that we collect from our surveys. I understand the science regarding climate change and want to contribute to humanity’s efforts to combat this problem.

“Tēnā koutou katoa!  I’m Kim (they/them). I’ve recently returned to Turtle Island from Aotearoa New Zealand. I have many passions, from youth civics engagement, to arts, science, the outdoors and of course environmental campaigning and activism.

Last year, I was the President of the University of Canterbury Students Association, leading a team of 12 students to connect with our university and advocate for all students. One of my proudest moments of 2021 was initiating a campaign for discounted bus fares for students. We’ve been successful, and now many groups, including students, will enjoy $1 fares in Ōtautahi Christchurch. We also advocated for better student supports in the academic and pastoral areas, as well as for our diverse communities. 

I previously completed a Bachelor of Science (Honours), majoring in Chemistry, with my final year project focussing on a disease affecting native Kauri Trees in Aotearoa. This developed my understanding of wider ecosystem impacts of pathogens, as well as Indigenous Knowledge and how we as scientists can more gracefully navigate approaches that incorporate both Indigenous Knowledge and Science.

I believe that to address the climate crisis, we need to take radical action, whilst centring groups who are most affected by climate change. However, we also need to engage and empower many members of our community. This summer, I want to connect with the wider Tkaronto community and aid in making taking climate action accessible to everyone.
