Natalie Helferty to speak on Richmond Hill ROSE Project: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally
Global issues such as Climate Change and Global Peak Oil and their effects on local development are shaping the future of Richmond Hill. These issues call for new ways of thinking about planning and development. Natalie Helferty, Past President of the Richmond Hill Naturalists, is passionate about meeting these issues head on by creating Richmond Hill as a self-sustaining community. Ms. Helferty’s work over the past ten years has helped form many of the current ideas and policies which are now taking shape to protect Ontario’s natural environment and to plan better communities. Her work with the NOAH Project (Niagara Escarpment-Oak Ridges Moraine-Algonquin to Adirondack Heritage system) has influenced the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, the Greenbelt and Natural Spaces in Ontario and the Rouge Watershed Strategy in York Region.
Now hear how ‘Acting Locally’ will move Richmond Hill toward a sustainable future with The ROSE Project!
