With Mayor David Miller unveiling an ambitious plan to tackle climate change, you may be wondering how you can kick in. Well, the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) is recruiting members for the 2007 – 2009 term in a number of Watershed Committees:
These committees were established to “help protect, restore and celebrate the natural, cultural and recreational features of these watersheds. The watershed committees are responsible for facilitating the implementation of actions advocated in various planning and management documents.”
If you’re not sure which watershed you’d like to work in, have a look at the map (warning: PDF), to see how the systems connect to the city. Working with one of these committees should be a great way to meet like-minded people, learn more about environmental issues, and, most importantly, become actively involved in the conservation effort.
More information is available on the TRCA’s website.
