Clean Foundation
The Clean Foundation (Clean) has 28 years’ experience as an environmental non-profit.
We provide the knowledge, tools, and inspiration to encourage individual actions that add up to positive environmental change.
We work for a clean climate and clean water, and to help reach these goals, we foster and support clean leaders. In our youth, we helped lead the transformation of waste management in Nova Scotia.
We chaired the provincial waste management panel and led the public engagement process that achieved the 50% waste diversion goal for which Nova Scotia is now internationally recognized.
Since 2006, Clean’s Watershed Restoration Department has worked to improve in-stream water quality and fish habitat in Dartmouth-area watersheds. Through this work, we have restored more than 17,000 square meters of fish habitat. The program shares knowledge, data and resources with other environmental and community groups, and members of the broader community.
