Why we care
To help make our planet a little greener, the Town of Yarmouth balances commercial, residential and green spaces. We add green spaces when we plan new homes and businesses.
What the Parks, Grounds and Trees team does
The Parks, Grounds and Trees division (part of Operational Services) maintains the town’s parks, playgrounds, waterfront areas and other public green spaces. The team mows lawns, trims edges, prunes trees and shrubs, weeds and plants flowers, and cares for plant beds. They also maintain green space within road right-of-way and on other town-owned properties.
How you can help
Everyone can help keep Yarmouth green and clean. In summer the town hires a small Green Team (two or three students) to collect litter and keep sidewalks and public areas tidy. If you want to support your neighbourhood year‑round, join the Adopt‑a‑Block program.
