Wetlands are one the most diverse ecosystems in the world and have an extraordinary impact on wildlife, plant life, and water quality. As a “classroom” wetlands teach about our natural heritage and our natural resources.

Over 70% of Canada’s wetlands have disappeared due to environmental stressors such as land development, upstream runoff, and invasive species.

This makes the Wye Marsh an ecological jewel to be conserved at all costs – for the quality of water in the Georgian Bay watershed; for the fourteen species at risk that call the Wye Marsh home and for the education of future generations.

The Stewardship Plan, approved by the Board of Directors in April 2010, is a comprehensive document that will:

• Protect the interests of the floral and faunal communities of the Wye Valley;
• Protect, conserve and restore the ecological balance of the Wye Valley;
• Set the direction for long term stewardship of the Wye Marsh and Wye Valley with minimal environmental impact.
