| Abstract/Contents: | Focuses on the potential "benefits of parks and open spaces in our communities." Suggests benefits such as "improved health, wellness (physical/emotional), recreation (passive and active), education and security, habitat, environment, biodiversity, economics, and adjacent property value." Profiles the Niagara Parks Commission (NPC), stating that "the core purpose of NPC is to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the falls and the Niagara River corridor for the enjoyment of current and future visitors while being financially self-sustaining." Includes the NPC's greening projects: waste diversion, emissions reduction, habitat restoration, educational programs, and energy audit and conservation programs. Concludes that "ideally, all can agree it is important to protect our precious parklands by 'thinking globally' and 'acting locally.'" |
