Spotted Wintergreen and White Wood Aster are two of the rare plant species discovered in Niagara and Haldimand regions during the Natural Heritage Areas Inventory, spearheaded by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) in partnership with the Peninsula Field Naturalists and many others. The project began in 2006 and is now nearing completion with the production of a two-volume report and watershed-wide mapping. Deanna Lindblad, project coordinator, will share some of the highlights of their time in the field, going where no naturalists had gone before. Deanna, a native of Niagara, has been with the NPCA since 2001 and has served as Parks Naturalist for the Niagara Parks Commission since 2008.

Nature In Niagara Series
The Nature in Niagara Series is an outreach program for the general public designed to generate interest in our local natural environment as a way of gaining their support for conservation and preservation of our natural heritage. In partnership with the Fort Erie Public Library, The Bert Miller Nature Club will be holding two informational Wednesday evening seminars: one on local waterfowl and one on the flora & fauna of Marcy Woods. During the seminars, the importance of preserving habitat and biodiversity will be discussed, as well as identification techniques and use of optics. Call the Library, at 905-871-2546 to reserve your free ticket. Each seminar will be followed by a field outing the following weekend. Click here for details.
