Adele Pierre (OALA) has collaborated with Green Venture, a Hamilton-based environmental not for-profit organization, to create small-scale Low Impact Development (LID) sites in the urban core. This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these installations, monitoring LID practices on a site which incorporates rain gardens, rain barrels, permeable pavement and extensive native plantings. Volunteers will assess water infiltration and vegetation health, gaining an understanding of how these systems contribute to sustainable development and resilience against climate change. The findings will serve as valuable resources for environmentally conscious urban planning and community engagement initiatives in Hamilton and beyond.
