ENJOY NATURE AT THE MCLARTY CENTRE

“The Pine River Watershed’s McLarty Environmental Area has provided an enriching area for our Horticultural Youth Group to meet each year. The 30 children in our group, ages 6-14, look forward, each year, to the meetings held at the centre. They have had the opportunity to see and learn about our native species of flora and fauna. Hiking on the trail to identify plant and bird species and observing frogs are some of their favorite activities. As a leader of the Youth group I really appreciate that we have access to such a wonderful area so close to home for our children to learn and explore. The Pine River Watershed has been an excellent support for the environmental and horticultural teaching that we do and we greatly appreciate that.”

Heather Newman – Leader of the Ripley and District Horticultural Society For Our Youth Club.

The McLarty Environmental Study Area is designed for our community to learn about the Pine River; wetland creation and the education of the local wildlife and plants that this area supports. PRWIN has installed a trail system throughout the area, created two wetland ponds, planted memorial trees, an osprey nest and reforested the area with over a thousand tree seedlings.

PRWIN Potted Tree Ash Replacement Program

The goal of PTARP is to provide the lakeshore communities with trees to replace ash trees due to the result of the Emerald Ash Borer. The program offers one free potted tree to eligible residents along the lakeshore.

The Point Clark Beach Association (PCBA),Lurgan Beach Blairs Grove Association (LBBGA) and the Bruce Beach Cottagers Association (BBCA) are working together to ensure that new trees get planted in the most needed areas along the lakeshore.

This collaboration in conjunction with the PRWIN PTARP has enabled us to make significant impact to an area that was devastated by the ash borer. We will continue to refine the program as a collaborative effort between PRWIN and the lakeshore communities. We would like to thank the Beach Associations and the Community Well Being Grant – Township of Huron Kinloss for their support of our community tree program.

We are gearing up for new projects!

Landowners allow us to help them manage in ground projects by working together to secure funding and co-ordinate contractors.

These projects benefit your property, the environment, our communities, improving soil retention and resilience to severe weather, and providing habitat for wildlife.

Tree planting is a rewarding activity that improves our environment now and for future generations. Trees provide services like protecting soil and crops. They also buffer rivers and streams from pollutants, create habitat for birds and animals and provide us with clean air.

We have a growing list of projects personally requested by local landowners. Berms, tree planting and cattle crossing are the majority of project requests.

Your support will help us to continue to preserve and take care of our watershed!
