October Witch Of The Lake
This storm came over Lake Huron near Kincardine about an hour ago now; I watched the shelf cloud form and then quickly went home to my family. After the "shelfie" came, it was many more minutes before the actual storm hit... and I admit it, this storm lover was nervous! At one point here at my home the sky turned actually black, the trees went sideways, and the rain was so heavy you'd struggle to breathe in it. I sent the kids to the basement... and I actually joined them. Luckily (as usual!) the storm, while loud, bright, wet, and windy, still blew over after a few minutes' time. Watch out, inland!

SVCA is excited to announce the development of two new education programs in response to the current Covid-19 Pandemic. These programs are designed to offer in-person conservation education programing at Sulphur Spring Conservation Area for students learning through home-school and virtual education, outside the classroom.

The first, “Fall Wild Encounters Nature Day Camp and Outdoor School” will be for young people aged 5 to 8 and 9 to 12 for full or half days this fall. Group sizes will be limited to 14 to adhere to current Grey Bruce Health Unit Covid-19 Guidelines. This program will feature hands-on, curriculum-based programming investigations into our natural resources, outdoors.

The second, “Borrow an Outdoor Educator” will be for families and groups in the same “bubble” to hire our outdoor educator for a half day to teach a program of their choice. Again, group sizes will be limited to 14, but will also include adults.

More information about these exciting new ventures can be found at www.svca.on.ca ... See more

The Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) is a small, stocky, sandy-colored bird resembling a sandpiper. The adult has yellow-orange legs, a black band across the forehead from eye to eye, and a black ring around the base of its neck.

Along many parts of the Lake Huron coastline, particularly north of Point Clark (including southern Georgian Bay and the south shore of Manitoulin Is.), beach and dunes are considered geologic relics—sand deposits which were deposited centuries ago when the coastal geologic conditions were much different than today. The beach and dunes should be regarded as a non-renewable resource that must be conserved in order to maintain this natural resource.

The power of plants! The most effective method of stabilizing coastal dunes is through the use of vegetation. vegetation is the least expensive, most durable, most aesthetically pleasing, and only self-repairing technique available!
