Spokesperson Piers Evans says the area is a special place which is home to rare bird species and diverse plant life.
There’s about 29 hectares of boreal forest and riverfront in the Grand Codroy Valley area that have been recently declared as a protected area by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC). Spokesperson Piers Evans says the area is a special place which is home to rare bird species and diverse plant life. Evans says they are still looking for opportunities and want to speak to landowners and businesses in the area who are interested in supporting conservation. Funding from individuals, businesses and foundations along with land donations can be matched with funds from the Government of Canada, through the Natural Heritage Conservation Program.Ron Laudadio is the chair of the Codroy Valley Area Development Association. He says the association has always been involved with conservation of the environment. Laudadio says they’ve had ongoing relationships with the Nature Conservancy of Canada. Since 1962, NCC has brought people together to conserve and restore more than 15 million hectares. To learn more, visit natureconservancy.ca.
