By JUDY OERLEMANS Georgetown Legion Ladies Auxiliary Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) & Willow Park is looking for volunteers to help remove invasive plants and maintain trails and gardens at Willow Park Ecology Centre (WPEC) on Saturday Sept. 7, from 9 a.m. to noon. WPEC is located off Mary Street on Hwy. 7 in Norval, west of Brampton and east of Georgetown. This event is suitable for all ages and is a great opportunity for students to earn community service hours while learning about ecology. "Maintaining green spaces like Willow Park has a big impact on the air we breathe, the water we drink and the land we share," said Mike Puddister, Director of Restora- tion and Stewardship for CVC. "This is an opportunity for families to get outside, con- nect with nature and do their part for the local environment." CVC has been partnering with WPEC for more than a decade on many success- ful rehabilitation projects. As landowner of the property, CVC supports WPEC's commitment to habitat restoration and the innovative approaches that this active com- munity group brings to their work. Willow Park is a former trailer park converted into a naturalized green space, and provides an important demonstration area for wetland restoration, wildlife en- hancement, alternative gardening designs, and a wide variety of other ecological con- cepts that benefit the urban population. Volunteers of all ages wanted on Saturday for Willow Park/CVC maintenance project Ann Lawlor, manager of the histor- ic Devereaux House on Trafalgar Rd., joined Silver-Wood Women's Institute (W.I.) at their August picnic meeting and judged this year's competition: make a piece of garden art from re- cycled materials. "I decided that I would choose the one that best displayed the theme of heritage and friendship. I considered heritage because the garden orna- ment would be displayed at Devereaux House, and friendship since it is a foundation of the Women's Institutes," said Lawlor. "Donna Thompson's wind chime made of old tin measuring spoons, vintage coffee percolator top and tea ball conjured images of friends sharing coffee and tea with home bak- ing in a country kitchen. It will look great tinkling under the eaves of De- vereaux House." How much salt is too much? is the topic of the Wednesday, Sept. 11 meet- ing. Attendees will be learning why too much salt is bad for our health, com- paring the salt content of various food items, and deciding on a plan of action to combat this serious health risk. Ted Brown, newspaper photogra- pher and local farm owner, will be the guest speaker at the Oct. 16 meet- ing and making your own indoor or outdoor winter arrangement is on the Nov. 13 agenda. Meetings are held 7 p.m. at the historic Devereaux House, 11494 Tra- falgar Rd. Personal development and community action has been the focus of the WI since 1897 and all women are welcome. For more information, call Linda, 905-877-9579, or Donna, 905-877-0592. Ann Lawlor, manager of Devereaux House, holds the winning entry, created by Donna Thompson.
