Media Release: Volunteers uncover some of Elgin’s hidden gems through the Elgin Natural Heritage Inventory
Elgin County, ON. October 1, 2014 – Elgin County is perhaps best known for its sandy beaches, rich agricultural industry and historic rail line. But the wild places of Elgin, and the diverse array of species that live here, are often overlooked. Until now. Carolinian Canada staff and a small army of volunteers are cataloguing the rare plants and animals that call this area home.
E-Blast: A Field Day in Elgin
On Monday, June 9, I woke up at 3:45 A.M., fifteen minutes before my alarm, had breakfast, and set off from our home in Stratford for a day of fieldwork as part of the Elgin Natural Heritage Inventory. Each of the properties I would visit had been volunteered for survey by landowners keen to expand their knowledge of the flora and fauna with which they share their lands. On this gorgeous early summer day I would have the privilege to explore places I would normally never get a chance to visit and, best of all, to meet some great people whose enthusiasm, love and care for the lands of Elgin County is second to none.
