Turn Science into Community-Wide Action to Protect Your Muskoka Watershed
DATA-DRIVEN ACTION
You may have already guessed it – Muskoka is facing serious environmental threats. Have you noticed more algae in the water? Have you seen brown roadside vegetation? And when was the last time you saw a crayfish? From calcium decline in our forests and lakes to harmful winter road salt, these and other challenges have the potential to change forever the Muskoka you know and love.
