Protecting Goulbourn Wetland Complex
The Goulbourn Wetland Complex, designated a Provincially Significant Wetland, is a treasured local natural resource.
  • Wetlands provide essential flood control by absorbing rainfall and controlling its flow, lessening the impact of erosion while keeping our communities safe
  • During drought, Wetlands maintain surface water flow, helping surrounding vegetation and recharging groundwater over a very large area, helping to protect against forest fires
  • Wetlands replenish our drinking water aquifers by trapping sediments and filtering bacteria and pollutants
  • Wetlands store carbon, making them a key ally in the fight against climate change
 
Beavers: You might be lucky to see a Beaver or its Dam when walking along the trails. There is no other species that is as critical to creating and maintaining Wetlands as Beavers.
 
As a “keystone species” there isn’t a single other species that better benefits our watershed and the hundreds of other species that rely on these Wetlands. 

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
1)  Provide your contact information so we can keep you abreast of our Campaign.
2) Share this with family, friends and neighbours who value these important wetlands and want to see them protected.
