Preserving Ontario's Headwaters
Wednesday, March 31, 2010
Headwaters consist of small streams and wetlands. Together, they constitute most of the length and provide the majority of the flow, nutrients, organic material, and niche habitats of our watercourses.
To help preserve these valuable components of our regional ecosystems, please join us at a community workshop to discuss:
· the importance of Ontario’s headwaters,
· current policy & stewardship initiatives, and
· collaborative efforts for the future.
Seven workshops are being staged from Elora to Peterborough thanks to funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, extensive support from conservation authorities, and the participation of both local event and regional communication partners, including the Ontario Environment Network Water Caucus.
Registration is free but required in advance in order to ensure that enough coffee, chairs, and handouts are available.
Detailed agendas and maps to each event are available at www.ohwi.ca/2010workshop
