Now in its 12th year, Mill Pond Splash is organized jointly by the Don Watershed Regeneration Council, Toronto and Region Conservation, the Town of Richmond Hill and the Richmond Hill Naturalists.

It’s a fun, active family festival featuring displays, presentations, native wildlife shows, nature walks and children’s activities dealing with all aspects of conservation and our natural environment.
