Download the Media Release here.
Stewardship Ranger teams from across Carolinian Canada took part in a Species at Risk Camp hosted by the Carolinian Canada Coalition in partnership with Point Pelee National Park. The teams of 16 and 17-year old Stewardship Rangers spent their day at the beach restoring habitat for Ontario’s only lizard, the Common Five-Lined Skink, while also learning about other special, endangered and threatened species found in the Carolinian Life Zone including the Eastern Prickly Pear Cactus and the Hooded Warbler. Details and photos from SAR Camp 2010 will be available soon. Assistance for this project was provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Parks Canada, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, and the Ministry of Natural Resources. Read about the SAR camps 2008 and 2009 here.
