COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Youth Nature Challenge: Launched late in 2022, a new badge program encourages our youth to use the trails during every season. Family and friends are encouraged to help our youth rise to this challenge! Young hikers can earn four seasonal badges by completing the nature challenge over the course of a full year. Each season, hikers use clues to figure out the "challenge" trail and, during the hike, find and solve the puzzle posted along the trail. Finally, they need to draw a picture in their brochure. Once hikers have completed the challenge for all seasons, they can submit their brochure to claim their badges.
Adopt-a-Road: We conducted our annual cleanup of the 5.5 km stretch of Bog Line from Hwy 79 to the Ausable River Bridge as part of the Lambton County Adopt-a-Road program. We collected too many garbage bags of other people's garbage!
what3words CHALLENEGE: Being prepared for hiking is essential for ensuring safety, maintaining health and fitness, minimizing environmental impact, navigating effectively, responding to emergencies, and maximizing enjoyment of the outdoor experience.
The what3words CHALLENGE is an opportunity to learn and utilize a valuable FREE safety tool while hiking the Ausable River Valley and Mystery Falls Trails. Once a hiker has collected the what3words for all eight (8) map signs they can claim your FREE patch.
Environmental Symposium: LSNT was fortunate to host four engaging speakers at our Environmental Symposium, “Bee Aware – Plant With Care”: Nathan Schoelier of ABCA, Mike Smalls, Nancy Vidler of LSPCG and Jamie Corcoran of Lakeshore Eco-Network. Each speaker addressed a distinct topic, but all emphasized the importance of supporting the natural environment, whether it’s by planting native species or eradicating invasive ones! Our guests demonstrate a true passion for their roles as advocates and action-takers for our precious ‘Gems of Nature’.
There's much to see here. So take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about us and what we done in the community!.
