It's...
- a beautification project,
- a native plant restoration project,
- a pollinator assistance project, and
- a biodiversity project.
Roadsides began with the idea of improving the views along our roadsides and in unused places in cities, towns and villages.
It grew to become a project using the native plants that are appropriate for the area,
and evolved into a program to assist our native bees by giving them a place to eat, to live and to breed.
A Roadsides project provides habitat for native pollinators and restores the natural biodiversity to one small part of Ontario.
