Today’s post comes from Megan Loucks, Discovery Lead at Pinery Provincial Park.
If you explore Pinery’s Old Ausable Channel, you might see a variety of fish swimming, water lilies floating in the sun, or even a beaver ducking into its lodge.
However, we have recently received reports of a large reptilian creature swimming just below the surface.
During the long winter months, many of us get less “Vitamin N” than usual. Yet contact with nature has been found to lower blood pressure, strengthen immune system, help prevent disease, and reduce stress levels.

Today’s post comes from Alistair MacKenzie, Resource Management and Discovery Supervisor at Pinery Provincial Park.
As we begin a brand new year, many of us make personal resolutions to try to better ourselves or to help our families and communities.
I’ll be making several personal resolutions (darn sour cream-glazed doughnuts!), but in addition, I am choosing 2024 as the year to make some resolutions for parks and protected areas.
As I work and play in Ontario Parks’ many incredible landscapes, most of my efforts will take effect there, but I am not planning on limiting my efforts… I’ll include any green spaces I can find!
I’m just one person, so I would encourage you to help.
You may want to create a different list for yourself, but our parks can certainly use the help, so please consider giving back to our protected areas.
