Greening Norfolk County II
Nature Conservancy of Canada Conservation Volunteers
Port Rowan, ON
Help NCC green Norfolk County! For the second year in a row, volunteers can spend the day planting trees to help restore part of this property from former agricultural land back to its natural state. This property is located in the Southern Norfolk Sand Plain, an area with the highest level of intact forest cover in southwestern Ontario that provides a critical stopover site for migratory landbirds and waterbirds. By planting trees, you’ll assist in building ecological connections to other nearby NCC properties. Species at Risk that will benefit from this restoration project include Hooded Warbler and Eastern Hog-nosed Snake. Pre-register.
