The Township of Gore is renewing its strategic plan which includes goals related to nature conservation and watershed protection. Mathieu Madison, the Township’s Manager for Environment and Sustainable Development, has offered to come and speak to the Lake Anne Club to share information about regional nature reserves and conservation initiatives.
As you know, beyond Lake Anne itself, we are stewards of more than 1,400 acres in a height-of-land area within three different watersheds and five different townships. In addition to the forest, this land is home to a wide range of flora and fauna, including black bear, wolves, bobcats, eagles, various weasels (pine martin through to ermine) and lynxes.
As stewards of this hinterland, it is incumbent upon us to learn about what the local governments are thinking in terms of nature conservation and what tools they can provide to us as land owners in terms of learning about our land, biodiversity, watershed protection etc.
Mathieu will be making a presentation about the Township of Gore’s goals to promote nature conservation and give examples of conservation initiatives in the region. He will also talk about resources that are available to organizations like the Lake Anne Club to help us achieve conservation goals.
