Rebecca Rooney’s Waterloo Wetland Cleanup mobilizes community
Water Institute member Dr. Rebecca Rooney and her Waterloo Wetland Lab organized a successful wetland information session and clean-up event on Wednesday, November 9th. The event took place at a small but highly visible urban wetland at the corner of Columbia and Fisher-Hallman roads in Waterloo, ON that has collected a large amount of unwelcomed litter.
More than 35 volunteers rolled up their sleeves to clean the wetland and raise awareness on the value of wetlands and the threats facing them.
