Town of Olds Introduces New Approach to Greenspace Management

The Town of Olds is taking a forward-looking step towards sustainability with a new approach to greenspace management.

This shift will help support ecological resilience and create habitats for pollinators, birds and other wildlife.

This initiative reflects a broader movement toward rethinking how urban greenspaces are designed and maintained. By embracing naturalization, Olds is not only conserving municipal resources - it's enhancing local biodiversity and setting an example for other communities across Alberta. This project is a reminder that small, local changes in land management can have wide-reaching environmental benefits.
