WHY?

Under the dedicated and enthusiastic leadership of teacher Elfi Berndl, the students of Richmond Hill's Charles Howitt Public School have contributed significantly to the environmental well-being of their community by participating in hands-on activities that have helped restore the ecological integrity of Richvale Greenway. To this end, the students have “Adopted-a-Spot” in order to focus their stewardship efforts. The Town, Ontario Streams and Evergreen, who have all assisted them with their work, will dedicate a sign to the park and its users. This important sign communicates the enormous care that the students have given, and will continue to give, to the health of the park, our community, and our larger environment.

The Richvale Greenway is a series of wooded trails as along a beautiful section of the Upper East Don River. The trail system links Richvale Community Centre with Maplewood Park, Richvale Forest and the heritage buildings at Woods Park.
