restore our beaches
We need your help to protect our fragile Great Lakes beach-dune ecosystems! Volunteer for our Green Ribbon Champion to help restore our beaches and create habitat for rare species in the Huron-Kinloss, Kincardine, and Saugeen Shores area.
This work may involve planting native dune plants, removing invasive species, installing sand fencing, building access paths, and monitoring species at risk habitat.
