Maintaining Biodiversity at Camp Naivelt - talk and hike at 2:00 p.m.
Saturday August 14

Camp Naivelt has been part of the Credit Valley Conservation Authority's Natural Areas Inventory (NAI) Project, the objective being to identify natural heritage features and functions in our area through the inventory of species and plant communities and their status. Bird specialists came and identified birds, butterflies, dragonflies, amphibians and reptiles. Plant species, vegetation community inventory lists and mapping have also been done by NAI field biologists. This talk will help us understand the ecology of the area, to provide habitat that supports biodiversity.

Dawn Renfrew, Natural Areas Inventory (NAI) Program Coordinator, Credit Valley Conservation, worked as a park naturalist on the Bruce Peninsula before turning to marine botany and biology. She worked at a marine biology station on the outer coast of Vancouver Island for 17 years, and moved back to southern Ontario three years ago to start up and coordinate the Natural Areas Inventory Project at Credit Valley.
