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.

Thank you to TD Friends of the Environment

The Friends are happy to be able to continue to financially support the Piping Plover program at Wasaga Beach.  This past year we received $5,497 from TD Friends of the Environment for the production of educational panels that will be installed at the newly completed Plover Hut.  Ramping was added around the building last fall and with the addition of the educational panels we look forward to its use as a facility that will provide environmental education about the endangered Piping Plovers and beach stewardship.
