LRCA Acclaims Chair and Vice-Chair
The Lakehead Region Conservation Authority (LRCA) announces that Donna Blunt was acclaimed as Chair of the Authority Board of Directors…
Did you know that the LRCA’s Seeds for Conservation program provides locally and sustainably collected native wildflower seed to the City of Thunder Bay? Here are a few native perennials currently sprouting at the City’s new greenhouse facility. These plants will be used in the City’s ongoing greening initiatives, including gardens at the Conservatory, low-impact development projects, planter boxes, and restoration projects. We are grateful to partner with the City and continue providing stopover habitat for birds and pollinators in urban settings! 🌱

🌱💧 Happy #WorldWetlandsDay! 💧🦆
Have you heard about the LRCA’s partnership with @parks.canada, @red_rock_indian_band , and the @ncc_cnc ? This dedicated team is working together to protect the Provincially Significant Wetland at Hurkett Cove from invasive species.
Together, we are exploring how native, invasive, and hybrid cattails are impacting this vibrant ecosystem—one that supports incredible biodiversity, improves water quality, and provides critical habitat for fish and wildlife. 🦆🌱
In the summer of 2025, the team removed 450 m² of invasive cattails (Typha angustifolia and Typha x glauca) and set up monitoring plots to track cattail regrowth and the recovery of native plant communities 🌱
