Our Mission:
Protecting, restoring, regenerating, and rewilding Stittsville’s wetlands.
Stittsville, a growing community within the City of Ottawa, is located on the doorstep of an exceptional provincially significant wetland, known as the Goulbourn Wetland Complex. This unique ecological treasure is also less than one kilometre from our Village Square Park. The wetland is accessible via the TransCanada Trail – Canada’s national trail and the longest network of multi-use recreational trails in the world.
The ecological health of Goulbourn Wetland Complex continues to be threatened by the potential for land conversion for development, invasive species, pollution, artificial modification of water levels, and climate change. These threats have been further exacerbated by policy changes by the Government of Ontario in late 2022.
Wetlands are critical to our planet's environmental health. Our work aims to emphasize their importance and the need to protect them from threats. We strive to connect people with nature and inspire a deeper appreciation for these vital ecosystems. Because preserving wetlands is crucial to maintaining a healthy planet, our efforts are dedicated to ensuring their survival.
