Thank You to TD Friends of the Environment

The Friends would like to thank TD Friends of the Environment for the grant we received to produce six Piping Plover educational panels that were recently installed at the Plover Hut along the boardwalk in Beach Area 1.  These panels and an additional portable set will be a great asset in helping to provide environmental education about the endangered Piping Plovers and the importance of beach stewardship.  Thanks TD!

Thank you to master carver, Winston Smith, for his kind donation!

We are most thankful to world-renowned wildlife carver Winston Smith for his donation of both an adult Piping Plover and a Piping Plover chick to the Friends of Nancy Island. These beautiful carvings will be used for educational programming and outreach with the Piping Plover Recovery Program at Wasaga Beach Provincial Park.
