We have some very exciting news 🦆 The Conservation Education Centre has a brand-new addition to its lower level... the Davidson Decoy Gallery! This gallery honors the region’s waterfowling history by showcasing the work of prominent decoy carvers from Long Point region and beyond, with a focus on carvers from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s.

We invite you to come out on the opening day, Saturday, June 6 from 11am - 4pm to explore this addition. It's really something special! If you can't make it, that's okay, the gallery will be open Wednesday-Sunday until September 6 and then September 18 - October 10, Friday-Saturday!

Today is , with this year's theme being "acting locally for global impact". What you do locally may not seem like it will impact beyond your neighbourhood... but just like in a watershed, what you do upstream affects conditions downstream.

So, take this as your sign to plant those trees, plant those cover crops, recycle, pick up that litter, clean your shoes after a hike, slow down for turtles, and make healthy environmental decisions! Help biodiversity thrive!

Every contribution to the environment makes a difference, no matter how big or small. 🌎

We even met a little friend along the way 🐍 These hard working kids planted 1,100!! We look forward to this tradition every year 😀
