🍂 Step Into Nature! 🍂 As the days get shorter, trees slow down their production of chlorophyll—the green pigment that gives leaves their summer colour. As that green fades, vibrant yellow and orange pigments are revealed, creating the spectacular colours of fall. Take a hike through one of the LRCA’s 10 Conservation Areas and enjoy the science of the season while getting your body moving and your mind refreshed! 🥾🌲#StepIntoNature #HealthyHikes #mentalhealth #fall

🌱 Feel-Good Friday! 🌱Our Stewardship Team has been busy getting their hands dirty at Hurkett Cove Conservation Area! We’ve been planting native vegetation along the shoreline to help reduce erosion, improve water quality, and strengthen important shoreline habitat. As these plants grow, they’ll also provide valuable food, cover, and native seeds for our feathered friends. A little planting today can make a big difference for the health and resilience of our watershed tomorrow. 🌱
