The Ashburnham Memorial Stewardship Group (AMSG), was founded in June 2021 in order to advocate for positive changes to Ashburnham Memorial Park, known locally as “Armour Hill”. It is hoped that these changes will increase Stewardship and respect for the Historical and Environmental aspects of this Park (bird watching, hiking, astronomy, War Memorial Ceremonies, school visits, tourism etc), while decreasing the known negative behaviours that occur on the hill (speeding, reckless driving, breaking bottles, garbage dumping, illegal fireworks, etc.). AMSG is comprised of citizen volunteers who meet monthly to discuss issues and ideas for AMP and to liaise with City Councillors representing Ashburnham Ward on City Council. To date, the Arenas, Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, the Museum and Archives Advisory Committee and the Police Services Board have been very receptive to this information and to working with the AMSG towards positive change within Ashburnham Memorial Park.
Anyone interested in more information or working with AMSG can email the group at: ashburnhamstewardship@gmail.com
