The Nelson Nest Lab was a community-driven initiative that brought people together to tackle local challenges. It focused on collaboration, resource-sharing, and problem-solving, helping shape Nelson Next, the city’s climate action plan. The lab demonstrated how grassroots efforts can drive real change, proving that when communities work together, they can build lasting solutions.
