Help protect Lake Huron health

Posted: Friday, May 23, 2014


The Lake Huron coast is a special place where people enjoy a unique ecosystem created over thousands of years through the action of wind and waves.

These coastal dunes, wetlands and bluffs are important, yet vulnerable, features forming the character of our shores.

While it’s important that people have the opportunity to experience and enjoy the coastal environment, it is equally important that the quality of our coastal ecosystems is not compromised because of overuse, or due to a lack of proper stewardship. Stewardship of our shores is most effectively done at the local, grassroots level.

Individuals, communities and local businesses play a critical role as partners, guardians, and watchdogs. They are the most effective champions to achieve environmental sustainability in their own backyards. Moving communities from the role of the observer to active participant will initiate and sustain a shoreline stewardship ethic.

The Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation offers community programs and resources that help local communities, individuals, and businesses become actively engaged in shoreline stewardship for Lake Huron.

Are you doing everything you can to be a good steward of your shoreline property?

The Centre has resources to help you to make it happen. Interested volunteers and supporters should contact the Coastal Centre (226-421-3029) or visit the Community Programs section of our website at www.lakehuron.on.ca.
