Yup, we're still quacking about St. Luke's Marsh! Here's a story we enjoyed in the Chatham Daily News. Ellwood Shreve talked with our Erling Armson, manager o...f land securement in Ontario, about DUC's purchase of this exceptional wildlife habitat on Lake St. Clair. #ducks #wetlands #conservation https://www.chathamdailynews.ca//purchase-of-st-lukes-mars

It's that time of year again - Please consider raking your leaves into a corner of your property, putting them in a compost area or using them as a blanket ...for your flower beds until spring. Wildlife such as turtles, toads, songbirds, mammals and invertebrates rely on leaf litter for food, shelter and nesting material. Many moth and butterfly caterpillars overwinter in fallen leaves before emerging in spring. Rotting leaves are the food that feed our forests and their decomposition is an important part of our environment. Avoid gas powered leaf blowers as the blasts are strong enough to kill the smallest creatures who use leaves as shelter; plus, raking is good exercise. See more

Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. Be sure to get outside and enjoy our natural and wild spaces this long weekend (responsibly of course).
