Evergreen Brick Works - Monitoring Program


On Tuesday nights, you'll find Stuart McPherson at the Evergreen Brickworks, enthusiastically leading the volunteers through their weekly stewardship roles.  But during the day, he's mobilizing ingenious ideas to help increase our ecological awareness and the cause to which he is passionately dedicated.

The EBW Monitoring Program allows Brickworks visitors to participate in capturing the revitalization of this historical site via your camera, a series of Flickr albums and essentially, time-lapse photography.  There are 10 monitoring stations, along the walking trails, spread throughout the EBW.  Simply set your camera atop the post, take a shot and upload to the album.  Check out all the photos at the link below.
