Ecogreen TV: Episode 2 - Shell Park Trail battle
EcogreenTV — July 8, 2010
In this second episode Oakvillegreen joins the battle to get Oakville Parks and Rec, and Council, to understand that not all green spaces are parks to be used for human recreation. Some natural areas are much more important for their intrinsic value and for the ecological purposes they serve. Getting your local government to distinguish between parks and natural areas is the key to developing appropriate trail policies. With thanks to producers, Andy Stark and Julie Winfield of ecopartners and inPhotainment Technologies, Ltd.
