Hi All,

To promote our big clean up of Cootes on Sunday March 1st, we took all except 50 of the 250 tires that were pulled out of Cootes and Grindstone watersheds last year to make our own tire pyramid. 

Barry Gray of the Spectator came down and shot this great video. 

Tys Theysmeyer, Head of Natural Lands for RBG was in the thick of it all and provided some insightful commentary.  Tys says that about 1000 tires have been pulled out in the last seven years which is a unarguably a great accomplishment.  

But putting this number in perspective, this only represents the half-way point as there are still 1,000 out there!  Lots of work to be done.

Please share and lets get a great turn out on the 24th!
