MUSKOKA CONSERVANCY EARTH WEEK VOLUNTEERS PRESERVE NATURE RESERVES WITH CLEAN UP

MUSKOKA — Earth Week wrapped up with a lot of wrappers when over two days a dedicated group of volunteers came together to make tangible difference in the environment.

Two successful events took place. One at Nelson Head Nature Reserve in Huntsville, and another at Silver Doe Nature Reserve and Conservation Road in Gravenhurst.

A total of 14 volunteers contributed 42 hours of work, collecting an estimated 30 bags of garbage from these natural spaces and along the roadway, says a Muskoka Conservancy release.

They say their commitment to conservation and community pride played a crucial role in keeping Muskoka beautiful.
A special thanks goes to the District of Muskoka’s Clean Muskoka Together program, which supported these efforts by providing essential cleanup tools like gloves and bags, as well as exempting disposal fees at the transfer station.
The success by more than a dozen volunteers reminds us that positive environmental change starts with individuals who care and take action, they said.

The Conservancy says it appreciates and recognizes their hard work in preserving the beauty of our local nature reserves.
