The Ottawa Stewardship Council participated in a very successful public event organized by Biodiversity Conservation International (BCI) at the Pinhey sand dunes on Saturday August 26.
After several brief presentations about the singular importance of the dunes in the Ottawa area and some discussion on the importance of volunteer stewardship in its success, participants got a chance to walk about with scientific experts from BCI, to ask questions and gain greater insights into this unique ecosystem.
Working closely with BCI, we have been an active supporter of their dune restoration project through cooperative study projects with Carleton University, and Algonquin College. We have also worked with Hydro One to ensure its maintenance program along the hydro corridor was supportive of the goals and objectives of the Pinhey sand dunes conservation program.
