On Earth Day, April 22, 2024, a wonderful group of volunteers, sixteen of us, gathered at Anniversary Park to partake in the gargantuan task of cleaning up the Ferguson Forest and the Arboretum. The event took place with the cooperation of the Municipality of North Grenville which provided us with the Pitch-In bags and which will also retrieve the bags and move them to where Emterra can pick them up. We filled twenty Pitch-In bags and gathered up yard waste, car parts and renovation waste. A Big Thank You goes out to all of the volunteers for helping; this also includes Friends of the Ferguson Forest Board members, Jim Beckett, Ron Arsenault and Lynn Paibomesai, and members of the Friends of the Ferguson Forest Centre. We also had the President, Carl Doucette, Vice-President, Wes Herring and Board member Sarah Herring of the Ferguson Forest Centre Corporation come to help out. We are planning to hold this event on an annual basis.
