RIVERVIEW, N.B. A group of high school students in Riverview, N.B. are giving back to their community by getting their hands dirty. Sitting along Riverview’s Riverfront Trail, new little buds soak up the sun and prepare to bloom. “They worked really hard,” says Jenny Hendy, Educational Assistant at Riverview High School. “They planted ten trees over here, four pear trees and six apple trees.” The trees were planted by a group of neurodivergent high school seniors, who take part in the YMCA’s Community Action Networking program. “They were really tired of hearing about COVID, and talking about that problem, so we switched gears,” says Nicole Wry of the YMCA Community Action Network. “They really wanted to work with food security.”
