Celebrate National Wildlife Week
Spring is on its way – bringing warm breezes, birdsong
and green shoots sprouting from the earth. As you make plans
to enjoy the outdoors over the coming months, consider how
fortunate we are to have so many beautiful natural spaces
in Ontario.
We believe that it is critical to the future of Canada's
wildlife to educate young people about wild plants and animals,
and their roles in our environment, through schools, youth
organizations, and community involvement. And adults will
enjoy learning about wildlife and joining in at National Wildlife
Week events, too!
Watersheds...More Than Just Water. Explore Yours!
This year's theme focuses on the importance of Canada's watersheds. We all live in a watershed - it is an area of land through which water flows towards a river, wetland, lake or even the ocean. Watersheds provide important habitat for wildlife. Learn more about the important functions of a watershed. Take some time and discover interesting facts out about the watershed you live in. Start by visiting the Canadian Wildlife Federation's National Wildlife Week * Web site for information about watersheds.
The Canadian Wildlife Federation, a non-government organization,
leads a national education program during National Wildlife
Week. Click the logo at left to visit their Web site and find
out more.
The week is planned in collaboration with a
core group of organizations who aim to promote wildlife and
habitat conservation. Click here to check out our team: Friends
of National Wildlife Week.
