The Rideau Environmental Action League (REAL) made significant strides this past weekend at Hyland-Corbett Park in Smiths Falls by introducing mini-forests. These vibrant additions offer numerous environmental and social benefits. The mini-forests help reduce air pollution, enhance biodiversity, and provide essential habitats for local wildlife.
In addition to their ecological advantages, these mini-forests create much-needed green spaces for residents to enjoy. They provide a tranquil setting that promotes mental well-being and encourages outdoor activities. As the community engages with these natural spaces, they can experience improved air quality and a stronger connection to nature.
REAL’s initiative is an exciting step toward creating a healthier and more sustainable environment in Smiths Falls.
