Community Projects
Each year, we partner with groups and communities to support their small projects
Community Compost Project
Project Partners: Corner Brook Dance Hub and more to come!
In 2024 Western Environment Centre sponsored composters hosted on-site at our partners’ locations throughout the Bay of Islands.
WEC provided the compost bins and the know-how, and our partners take care of the compost maintenance. The finished compost goes back to our community gardens and also is available for participants to use.
If you would like to take advantage of this free and easy compost service to drop off your kitchen scraps at any location, let us know! Email us at info@wecnl.ca.
Community Greenhouse Project
Project Partner: Vine Place Community Centre
In 2023 Western Environment Centre sponsored a new greenhouse build at Vine Place.
A community greenhouse is a shared community space to grow food together, a place to hold public events such as workshops and garden parties, and an opportunity to showcase environmentally friendly growing methods.
Some of the main goals of this project are to:
Increase access to community food infrastructure
Provide education to help develop food skills
Increase sustainability of our local food
