THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 2000 THE NEW TANNER CES NIBLOCK The New Tanner By With an empowering mes- sage that their job is to save the planet, students at Acton High School were urged to get involved with a schoolyard naturalization and tree-planting program by en- vironmentalist Joan Cornfield during a recent presentation. Cornfield is a member of P.O.W.E.R., the north Halton environmental group that is planting trees in six locations in Halton Hills, including Fairy Lake, as a millennium project. Cornfield told the stu- dents they can and will make a difference. "You don't even know how much power you have once you get a vision," PO.W.E.R. spokesperson Joan Cornfield said as she came to lend sup- port to the school's plans to naturalize an area at the south side of the school. "My vision for you is that in 2050 AD, you' re all ancient by then, you bring your kids along and your grandchildren and you look at those trees you planted and you look at millenium garden with its huge trees that help preserve the land," Cornfield said, add- ing they hope to supply the school with some money to buy trees and their expertise. The school's millennium garden will take three-to-five years to develop and could cost $10,000 --all money raised through grants and dona- tions and the "sale" of trees to parents of students and members of the graduating class each year. Organizers hope the gar- den will be a community project and are asking par- ents, local businesses and the community for their time, tal- ent or donations. Already R/ M Construction has donated its heavy equipment and Dufferin Aggregates loads of gravel and pocks and Tuitman's Garden Centre has drawn up a garden plan. Teacher/garden organizer Norbert Axtmann said back in the 60s, 70s and 80s, devel- opers "raped" the land like the school site, but now develop- ers, the Town and school boards are protecting the en- vironment. "This (millennium garden) is our opportunity to kind of undo a wrong that was done many years ago when the school was initially built," Axtmann said, adding stu- dents will be involved in the creation, planning and main- tenance of the area. ligh School reclaiming barren land Find bunny on website Help Surf the Net find Sur missing bunny!
