Raise the Hammer
We're going on a summer's bike ride through the countryside, and you're invited!
Ride with Environment Hamilton on the Trans-Canada rail trail running from Dundas to Brantford. Visit Heart's Content Organic Farmstead, a beautiful 57-acre farm, that wants to be included in the Greenbelt.
A mile away from the Greenbelt's protected countryside, Heart's Content farm is fighting to be included in it. Meet the farmers who will tell you why Brant County's precious farmlands need to be protected permanently from encroaching sprawl--pressure building as a result of leap frogging development--from Hamilton (in the Greenbelt) over to Brant County/Brantford. Learn more about growing the Greenbelt here:
