Field and Stream Rescue Team

Great teamwork!

That's how you do it! That's how you celebrate Earth Day! Our friends at Hunter Amenities brought their 'A-game' this morning to help FSRT with an overdue clean-up of the Rambo Creek area by Roly Bird Park in Burlington, Ontario, on a beautiful morning. 12 bags of wind-blown and flood-deposited garbage, 2 car batteries (yes, pulled out of the creek water), and some misc. debris were collected.

A special thanks as well to SAIL in Burlington for offering to haul the pile away for us (they've also helped clean the area in the past).

Join us for our next cleanup of Rambo Creek a bit farther south of here at Plains Rd. E., this upcoming Saturday morning. Learn more and RSVP here: https://www.streamrescue.com/upcoming-projects.html

A HUGE thanks to our dedicated FSRT volunteers and local members of the Waterdown community who completed the mammoth task of cleaning a 500m stretch of greenspace on the east side of Avonsyde Blvd., on April 19th. The equivalent of 15 large, full bags of windblown litter were collected, plus 6 bags of clean recyclables. The area looks so much better!!!

We were happy to lend our efforts to the greater Waterdown Spring Community Cleanup this year to tackle this very messy section. Also, a reminder that residents anywhere can help reduce windblown litter on windy days by securing their blue boxes well and waiting until early morning to put them to the curb.

A big thanks to all the TD and FSRT volunteers who helped plant 340 native trees/shrubs recently at Sherwood Forest Park in Burlington. The project, funded by TD Tree Days, expands the forest in a new area prepared by the City of Burlington. Plants include a number of berry producers to support birds and other wildlife. Thank you to all involved for making this happen!
