Students from several Malton schools will clean-up an area creek on Monday as part of an event organized by the Malton Environmental Stewardship Project.
“The aim is to connect the community with their natural areas,” said ecologist Jessika Corkum-Gorrill, who is urging students to participate.
So far, some 70 students from Holy Cross School have signed up. The group will help clean-up an area surrounding Mimico Creek along the Malton Greenway trail from 9-10:30 a.m., come rain or shine.
The Malton Environmental Stewardship Project is a coalition of the City of Mississauga, Toronto & Region Conservation, the Mississauga-Airport Rotary Club and the Malton Residents Association. The group is dedicated to the revitalization of Mimico Creek.
Specific activities include restoring and enhancing forest, meadow and wetland habitats by planting native trees and shrubs, installing wildlife habitat structures and hosting public workshops and community events.
For more information about events, call Corkum-Gorrill at 416-661-6600, ext. 5748.
