Ottawa River Institute - Ottawa Valley Nature Fix

Ottawa Valley Nature Fix

Here in the Ottawa Valley we are blessed with an abundance of beautiful forests and wild areas near lakes and rivers where nature holds sway. Science tells us that spending time in nature has enormous benefits for our mental and physical health, benefits that are all the more valuable in these times of much bad news about the state of Earth’s ecosystems and climate. It is also true that we can only value and protect what we know about and appreciate so getting out in Nature helps increase our drive to protect our watershed and the incredible biodiversity that sustains us.

This initiative is our attempt to inspire us all to get out in nature more often. We hope to see you in the woods and along our waterways!

Ottawa Valley Nature Fix Fact Sheet

We have prepared a one page fact sheet for sharing on social media and posting on community bulletin Boards. It is available here as a pdf. And here as a jpg.

We invite you to visit our companion website, Renfrew County Nature Notebook which is a compilation of information and resources on natural areas in Renfrew County that are open to the public.

A series of walks and paddles will be offered in the coming months.
