Join Us Next Month for a Pelee Island Research Webinar
Join us on February 2nd from 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. for a webinar about various research projects on Pelee Island. Learn about the unique ecosystems found on the island, restoration projects, and research to assess the effects of these projects on species at risk such as snakes, gastropods, bees and plants. Ontario Nature’s Stone Road Alvar Nature Reserve, located on Pelee Island, protects globally rare habitat, including open alvar. To restore open alvar habitat and prevent further encroachment of woody vegetation, we conducted a prescribed burn in 2018 with researchers and partner organizations. Over the past three years, researchers have monitored various species at risk on lands owned by Ontario Nature, Nature Conservancy of Canada and Essex Region Conservation Authority to determine the effects of the prescribed burn on species at risk. We hope you can join us!
