Stewardship connects people to the environment.  MGC stewardship is the protection and improvement of Riverwood’s natural spaces, including its forest, tablelands, meadows, ravines, wetland and creeks and the Credit River to make sure it is maintained for future generations.   We do this through our Stewardship Program.

As stewards of this special place, MGC volunteers and staff together with the City of Mississauga, Credit Valley Conservation, and partnering groups to:
• plant native trees and shrubs
• improve and protect wildlife and plant habitat
• maintain public and education trails
• manage invasive plants
• raise public awareness for why we do what we do

MGC won the prestigious Ontario Heritage Trust Award in 2007 for its stewardship work and connecting it to public education.
