GLIN==> "Caring for Our Coast" - Carolinian Canada Coalition - Forum 2009

*Caring for Our Coast: Envisioning a Lake Erie Community Stewardship Trail
Network*

Can conservation, recreation and tourism work together to make a difference
on a significant landscape? Join Carolinian Canada Coalition in exploring
eco-friendly ways to link these sectors and recover species at risk on
Canada’s southernmost coastline.

On October 22 - 23, 2009, CCC is partnering with Parks Canada to host a
two-day “Caring for Our Coast” Forum at Point Pelee National Park and the
Pelee Days Inn, in Leamington, Ontario. This event will launch a major new
initiative, the Lake Erie Community Stewardship Trail Network, to promote
enjoyment, understanding and stewardship of the diverse coastal zone.

“Caring for Our Coast” will investigate how trails and outdoor recreation
can protect and restore the unique nature of southwestern Ontario. With
international speakers, local experts, outdoor workshops, and round table
sessions, there will be many opportunities to offer your perspective,
network, gain insight and get inspired. Don’t miss this unique event, your
opportunity to discuss and shape the future of Lake Erie’s Carolinian Coast.

This forum will also feature a special Keynote Address "Working Together to
Leave No Child Inside!" by Martin LeBlanc, Vice President of the Children
and Nature Network & National Youth Education Director for the Sierra Club** .
This exciting keynote address will focus on how community-based strategies
can be utilized to connect children with the outdoors. Come get information
on how to empower your own community, influence policymakers, and create
non-traditional partnerships to ensure that every child has an opportunity
to experience nature!
