Come help rehabilitate the aquatic ecosystem with Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority!

Upstream of Little Lake, a section of Willow Creek is experiencing erosion on the stream banks. With your help we will be stabilizing the stream bank, grading the banks and replanting a riparian forest. 

At this volunteer event we will be stepping into chest waders and wading into waist-deep water to anchor old Christmas trees into the edge of the streambank. This not only reduces erosion and stabilizes the streambanks, it creates habitat for fish and plants. In the weeks following the volunteer event, staff will continue the rehabilitation process by grading the steep banks to enhance floodplain capacity and improve habitat. Thank you to Napoleon for collaborating with us to improve the health and water quality in Willow Creek!

Take a look at how your help will improve fish and wildlife habitat, water quality and our economy in our 9 minute documentary. You can also visit our website for more information.

This is a great way to gain volunteer hours, learn about ecological restoration and help our ecosystem! 

Pre-Registration is required! Space is limited.
