Campaign to Black Creek Heronry – A Natural Legacy

The Black Creek Heronry in East Perth County has been the breeding grounds for a large colony of Great Blue Heron Ardea herodias for at least 30 years. It is one of only two heronries in Perth County and is thus the source for these well-loved and majestic birds through much of Perth County. In order to breed successfully Herons require a wetland in which they will be undisturbed, and this has become an increasingly rare habitat. The Thames Talbot Land Trust (TTLT) is fortunate to have the opportunity to purchase this 5 acre wetland that abuts 100 acres already protected by a Conservation Easement held by TTLT. With your help, TTLT will raise $15,000 in order to protect this wetland in perpetuity ensuring that future generations will be able to marvel at the sight of the Great Blue Heron.

The Conservation Challenge

Across the Carolinian region nature is in retreat, species are going extinct and the safety of our air and water are in doubt. We need to protect our natural areas and wildlife habitat for future generations. Unless we act to protect areas like the Black Creek Heronry now, many of these beautiful areas will disappear before our children and grandchildren have a chance to enjoy them.
Send your gift, make a pledge, and tell your friends.
Together, we can secure the future.

The Thames Talbot Land Trust has until March 31, 2011 to raise $15,000 to protect the Black Creek Heronry forever. We have a shared responsibility to protect our natural world and pass along to future generations the beauty, wildlife, water and resources that we enjoy today.
