Celebrating Conservation Around the St Clair Watershed

The St Clair Region Conservation Authority is urging area residents to get active to help celebrate its 60th anniversary.

The organization is launching the St Clair Challenge on July 1st, encouraging everyone to walk, run, hike, bike, or paddle the many trails and waterways around the region.

“We have created four different distance challenges ranging from 6 kilometres to 60 kilometres,” says Donna Blue, Manager of Communications at the SCRCA, “We hope this event will not only raise money to support conservation efforts in our region, but also introduce people to local natural gems they may not have been aware of.”

All money raised helps to support the St. Clair Region Conservation Foundation – a registered, charitable organization that raises funds to support the conservation programs of the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority.

Funds raised will help support a number of environmental programs including conservation education, tree planting, wetland creation, species at risk research, and upgrades to local conservation area facilities and amenities.
