Mission Statement
To preserve natural areas in the City of Windsor, Essex County, Pelee Island, and the municipality of Chatham/Kent for future generations.
In early 2008 Canada South Land Trust volunteer Shirley Grondin offered to host a yard sale at her home in South Windsor in support of the Canada South Land Trust. Shirley's offer was gladly accepted by Canada South Land Trust directors. Canada South Land Trust volunteer Linda Kennette offered her assistance. After some consultation, organizers Shirley Grondin and Linda Kennette, decided upon the date of Saturday, June 7, 2008.
The Canada South Land Trust registered its first Conservation Agreement on April 13, 2007 on the Balkwill Lands in the Town of Kingsville, Essex County, Ontario.
In 2007, Canada South Land Trust members volunteered to monitor the Lands and the restrictions placed on the Lands. The first monitoring sessions were held June 25, 2007 and July 2, 2007 with monitors Karen Cedar and Shirley Grondin accompanied by landowners Bill Balkwill and Jack Balkwill, and Canada South Land Trust directors Terry Anderson and Betty Learmouth.
Monitors began this year's monitoring of the Balkwill Lands on June 12, 2008 with the monitoring team of Karen Cedar, Shirley Grondin, Ernie Kennette and Linda Kennette examining the perimeters of the Lands. Landowner Bill Balkwill accompanied the monitors. Details of the monitoring will be reported in the Fall 2008 Newsletter.
Please note the upcoming events which include a bird banding workshop at Holiday Beach Conservation Area and a talk by Dr. Dan Mennill, December 4, 2008. Click on each item for details.
