RVFN Sponsors Presentation by Keddy on Lanark County’s Natural Heritage
RVFN sponsors presentation on Lanark County’s natural heritage
Press release by Judy Buehler, RVFN
Wetlands, beaver ponds, lakes, rivers, a bit of old growth forest and some Canadian Shield linking the Madawaska and Algonquin Highlands with the Appalachian Mountains all contribute to the ecological profile of Lanark County. This wonderful mix enables us to enjoy great biodiversity in our area and could be the reason you live here.
For an in-depth look at our natural heritage, don’t miss the Rideau Valley Field Naturalists’ lecture by Dr. Paul Keddy on Sunday, December 6th. Dr. Keddy has been a Professor of Biology at the University of Guelph, University of Ottawa and Southeastern Louisiana University. He is the author of several prize-winning books on ecology and a recipient of a National Wetlands Award for Science Research.
His love of this area and his vast knowledge of our local ecology promoted him to write Earth, Water, Fire, An Ecological Profile of Lanark County which is a must have for many environmentalists in this area. His book will be for sale at the meeting.
If you have an interest and appreciation for our ecology, or want to instil it in your children, bring them to this presentation, sponsored by the Rideau Valley Field Naturalists, at 2 p.m., Sun., Dec. 6th, in the All-Purpose Room at the Perth and District Indoor Swimming Pool on Wilson Street at Sunset Boulevard. There is a small admission fee of $5.00 for non-RVFN members.
