South Nation

South Nation Conservation (SNC) donated 500 tree seedlings to the Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) and Dundas Manor Nursing Home today to be distributed to nurses for National Nursing Week.

Donated White Spruce and Balsam Fir seedlings were leftover stock from the Conservation Authority’s spring planting programs. SNC partnered with the WDMH Foundation to find them a new home with the local nursing staff in North Dundas.

Last year Ontario announced May 12^th, 2020, as the Official Day of Action on Litter to bring clean-up activities to schools, neighbourhoods and municipalities across the province, and with the last bit of snow finally gone, a winter’s worth of garbage accumulation is now revealed and ready to be picked up.

South Nation Conservation’s (SNC) environmental services that protect help people and property from natural hazards (such as flooding), support sustainable development activities, and protect water quality are now available to the entire municipality of Clarence-Rockland and its residents along the Ottawa River.

The expansion was unanimously approved by SNC’s municipally-appointed Board of Directors at the request of Clarence-Rockland’s Municipal Council, who voted in support of joining the Conservation Authority’s jurisdiction in February.
