Green Issues - CEED Centre Society

Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Environmental Council (MRPMEC)

Environmental organizations and stewardship groups in the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows area are exchanging information and making consensus positions of the environmental community known to their government representatives and civil servants as members of MRPMEC, which was formed on November 28, 2005.

Pesticides and Alternatives

Synthetic chemical substances introduced to the environment for cosmetic purposes should be halted. Find out about alternatives on the CanadaGrowSmart site (under development) or Campaign for Pesticide Reduction! Maple Ridge site (complete).

Jackson Farm

A 39-acre historical landmark, Jackson Farm is under threat of development despite having been designated future parkland through a public process. The potential removal from the GVRD Green Zone (Livable Region Strategic Plan) and extension of the Urban Boundary to include it is happening behind the scenes without due public knowledge. See a press release from the Friends of Jackson Farm.
