McCarthy Woods
Nature Walk
Do you walk through McCarthy Woods? There’s more happening inside than you might think. Come discover the wildlife, pollinators, and invasive species sharing our greenspace. Also join a guided nature walk right into McCarthy Woods.
Bees & Pollinators
Get the buzz on bees! Pollinators are essential to the food we grow and the greenspaces we love, and they need our help. Visit the bee booth and hear from a local expert about how we can support them right here in Hunt Club.
Ecology Ottawa is a not-for-profit, grassroots and volunteer-driven organization. We believe that Ottawa residents are concerned about issues such as climate change, pollution and waste, and that they want sustainable communities where clean energy, air, and water, public transit, active transportation and greenspace protection take priority. We provide residents with the information and tools needed to understand local environmental issues and promote environmental leadership at all levels impacting the City of Ottawa.
Hopeful Gardeners of Hunt Club
We’re a group of local residents working to grow more food —and community— right here in Hunt Club. We’re exploring ways to expand gardening and growing capacity in our neighbourhoods. Do you have ideas or want to get involved? Come chat with us when you pick up your seedling kit!
The Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library is a grassroots organization that promotes gardening with native plants to provide food and habitat for bees, butterflies, insects, birds, and other wildlife. Just like a regular library, the Ottawa Wildflower Seed Library provides free seeds and plants that people can “check out” to grow in their own gardens. Once the plants have flowered and gone to seed, people can “return” some seeds to the library to make them available for other people. Help us continue to maintain habitat corridors for our wildlife and donate your native plants and seeds!
Seedy Saturday
Seed Exchange
Seedy Saturday is a part of a nationwide initiative, promoting community-based seed sharing and local food sustainability. Regionally adapted and open-pollinated seeds from local seed suppliers. Seed swap table (while supplies last!). Don’t forget to bring your reusable bags and any seeds you’d like to swap!
