Regreening Sudbury: How far have we come?

Science North Science Cafés

Over the past 120 years, the Sudbury landscape has experienced two dramatic transformations: first from deforestation and pollution and more recently through an ambitious regreening effort. How far have we come towards transforming our city into a sustainable community in a thriving landscape? What remains to be done, and what steps must we now take to achieve our ongoing goals? Discuss these questions, and more, with key players in the regreening effort.
