Educate for Change (2021-2022)

For almost 30 years, ACAP Saint John has been a leader in environmental stewardship throughout the Greater Saint John area, conducting successful community-based environmental initiatives that have engaged thousands of citizens and organizations over the years. Through funding from the New Brunswick Environmental Trust Fund, ACAP Saint John’s Educate for Change project has been able to organize countless cleanup events removing litter, debris and illegally dumped materials from green spaces, critical habitats and waterways; planted thousands of native trees throughout the region and delivered multiple educational outreach activities on various ongoing ACAP projects and, citizen science opportunities.

ACAP Saint John expanded environmental awareness and education initiatives to residents of all ages and demographics including decision makers, city staff, developers, community members, and students. These ambitious initiatives have advanced environmental awareness and action in the region and will continue to protect our environment by improving our watercourses, wildlife habitat and urban green spaces.
