Backyard gardens bring fresh, local, and package free vegetables directly to your plate versus the many, many steps of food delivery services with extensive plastic packaging. This is the perfect year to start or expand your vegetable garden and now is the time to start planning.

The wetlands and inner lakes of the #GeorgianBay basin are filled with beautiful animal and plant life. Wetlands need to be protected. They provide so many important ecological services including helping with water quality and providing habitat, some types are carbon sinks. Threats to them include development, pollution, invasive species and more.
To learn more about coastal wetlands ( a type) and the value and services they bring, see the great article "Coastal Wetlands Why We Need To Protect Them" in our archive online issue at this url http://ow.ly/buSE50DRfb7

Happy #firstdayofspring! As temperatures get warme

Happy #firstdayofspring! As temperatures get warmer and the days get longer, we are all anxiously awaiting to return to our favourite places around the Bay. The recent snow and ice melt is exposing disturbing amounts of litter along our roads, paths, and shorelines. GBF encourages you to go on a walk with your household to pick up litter along your favourite walking routes. This image is from a shoreline cleanup in Parry Sound last summer. Show us your pictures in the comments
