Imagine travelling on picturesque coastal trails from Essex to Niagara, enjoying diverse terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and species, including globally rare habitats. Join us in making the Lake Erie Community Stewardship Trail Network a reality.
Carolinian Canada Coalition is partnering with Parks Canada to host a two-day “Caring for Our Coast” Forum 2009 at Point Pelee. This event will launch a major new initiative, the Lake Erie Community Stewardship Trail Project, to promote enjoyment and understanding of the diverse coastal zone. Can conservation, recreation and tourism work together to make a difference on a significant landscape? This conference will explore eco-friendly ways to link these sectors and recover species at risk on Canada’s ecologically diverse southernmost coastline.
