Recap of Our Natural Capital Volunteer Workshop in Brampton!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Natural Capital Volunteer Training Workshop on June 25th, 2014!  We were lucky  the looming storm clouds cleared just in time for the evening.  Most of our important work are accomplished with help of volunteers, and we were happy to see some new faces join us.    Volunteers were given a presentation on the Natural Capital concept, introduction to Sierra Club's outing style and things to be aware of when guiding a nature walk.  Then we went for a stroll along Etobicoke Creek Trail behind the Brampton Four Corners Library to highlight how to run an outing.One of our main goals for this workshop was to discuss ideas about potential outreach activities to expand the Natural Capital project.  We came up with some great ideas and are looking forward to planning and new collaborations to bring an event-filled summer in the Peel Region!  We are always looking for volunteers to join us!  If you are interested in attending our events, or if there is a particular role you'd like to volunteer for, contact Kristina or Sophie at ontariochapter@sierraclub.ca, or 647-346-8744.  And if you haven't already, check out the new Brampton Natural Capital booklet!  http://ontario.sierraclub.ca/en/challenge-urban-sprawl-grow-greenbelt/bramptons-natural-capital  Keep an eye out for updates on upcoming events on our website and Ozone newsletter.
