SUMMARY:National Forest Week: An Old-Growth Forest Project Tour and Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:A 2-3 hour tour through the Ignatius Old-Growth Forest Project\, including reflections on past and present restoration activities. \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nForests and other natural spaces are necessary for human health and wellbeing as well as providing habitat and food for all our non-human neighbours. The Ignatius Old-Growth Forest Project has been actively pursuing forest and riparian restoration activities since 2014\, but the work began long before the Project’s official launch as the “Plant an Old-Growth Forest Project.” Join us on Sunday\, September 18th as we kick off National Forest Week with a walk through the Project grounds and a retrospective on its history. We will talk about the dam removal that paved the way in 2009; community collaboration and engagement; past and ongoing restoration activities to improve connectivity and manage invasive species; and adaptive management strategies. \nThis conversation and guided tour is free and open to everyone\, though donations are gratefully accepted online at https://ignatiusguelph.ca/donate/ or on-site through the donation boxes. \nWe will meet at the Pavilion near the entrance at 53 Cross Creek Boulevard at 10am. Please dress for the weather and bring a hat\, sunscreen\, water\, and bug spray as needed. \nWe do have a cap on the number of attendees to ensure parking will be available. If there is enough interest\, we may offer a second session.
