O.F.A.H./M.N.R. Invasive Species Awareness Program

Community Stream Steward Program
www.ofah.org/stream

Coldwater streams are a valuable, yet limited and endangered resource throughout southern Ontario. These particular ecosystems are unique, in that they can 'tell a story' of the past, present and future of coldwater streams in Ontario. The health of a coldwater stream (i.e. fish and invertebrate species present) tell us, or rather can open our eyes to, the land use practices within a watershed that are either environmentally sound or detrimental to the quality of water we all depend on for survival.

The Community Stream Steward Program is a multi-partner initiative that is focused on creating a sense of community and individual awareness of the need for each of us to do our part in restoring and preserving such an integral part of our natural heritage - the coldwater stream. We will work with dedicated individuals and community groups to form a network, or web, of Stream Stewards located on coldwater streams throughout the project area. This network will allow for significant steps, large or small, to be taken towards achieving our goal of coldwater stream restoration and preservation.
