Mills Riverside Park

It was a perfectly rainy day for a trip to Mills Riverside Park. Why perfect? Two of the grade three classrooms were very interested in finding out how erosion was affecting the trails in the park. Small groups visited 5 sample sites. With growing puddles and flowing water it was easy for students to find areas where the trail had eroded away and was in need of maintenance. The classes plan to revisit the park in the spring. They are also hoping to help with any needed maintenance and will even be suggesting methods for improving drainage to reduce further erosion!!
