The Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association is pleased to announce a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation for $241,500 over three years to support its efforts to tackle soil erosion on agricultural land. The Association's ongoing work with farmers on the Northern Bruce Peninsula improves water quality and preserves fertility of fields by reducing sediment runoff that would otherwise enter streams and ultimately flow into Lake Huron or Georgian Bay

Phragmites is one of Canada's most invasive plants and it has begun taking hold here on the Peninsula. Help us to fight it back! The summer over now, but for some the fun is just beginning. Last winter, about 16 adventurers enjoyed a February snowshoe excursion through the forests and wetlands of Ira Lake. We learned about the ecology of winter including the SUB-NIVEAN environmnent. Thanks to the local "Phrag Fighters" who came out to clip seed heads and enjoy chili in the bush, and Jenna and Gillian who helped Sean with the arrangements and acted as expert resource people.

Lindsay Tract is a special place where meandering trails reveal the treasures of Bruce Peninsula forests...

With funding from the Habitat Stewardship Program, the Bruce Peninsula Biosphere Association has been helping local waterfront property owners to naturalize their shorelines.

The program for Bayside Astronomy next summer (2017) will run from July to Labour Day. We plan to be at Lion's Head, Singing Sands, MIller's Family Camp and Summerhouse Park. The program starts around 9:00PM, and runs as long there are people interested in looking through the telescope, or just talking about the cosmos.

The first of several Shoreline Workshops was held in July 2015 and covered septic systems, gardening, stormwater management and living with wildlife.
