Winter Wonderland!!!! January 2010

We are pleased to announce that after a couple of months of recharging Stewards Greg Chapman and Liz Wolff will be back along the Eastern Lake Ontario Dunes and Salmon River corridor! This will be the second year the Eastern Lake Ontario Dune and Salmon River Stewardship and Habitat Program has stewards in the natural resource areas during the winter months. Since this is only the second year of the winter portion of the program, Greg and Liz will be gathering more information on the various winter recreational opportunities and attending some of the events in the natural resource areas. We will be posting updates about our findings as we go. Some of the events that we hope to report on are the annual wintering bald eagle survey, snowshoeing, dogsledding, and of course our experiences in the Eastern Lake Ontario Dunes and Wetlands Area and Salmon River corridor during the winter months. If you haven't had the opportunity to visit these areas during the winter, we invite you to experience the Eastern Lake Ontario Dunes and Wetlands and Salmon River corridor through our blog; we hope you enjoy it!
