Come join us!
WALK FOR DUNES LAKE WOODS
The Friends of Dunes Lake invite you to join them for a walk through the bog, woods and trails surrounding Dunes Lake to raise awareness of the ecological, recreational and quality-of-life value of this area.

A road and housing development is being planned between the Bordelais Bog and Dunes Lake. This is home to many bird and animal species as well as old growth forest. It’s not too late to save this place, but we need your help! Let’s show the developers and Town Council that St. Lazare residents don’t need another road here - we want this ecologically sensitive area preserved for future generations!


WALK INFORMATION
Nature Interpreter Ryan Young will be our guide as we explore the bog, adjacent woods, and Dunes Lake. Come see some of the flora and fauna that make this area so special.
Date/Time: April 11, 2010, 1-2 pm
Start: Bordelais Bog parking lot (rue Yearling/Bordelais)
Bring your children, your friends and your dogs for the Walk, Easter Egg Hunt and other fun activities!

HOW YOU CAN HELP
If you haven’t already signed our petition, you can do so at www.lacdesdunes.ca. We’ve collected over 1570 signatures already, but we need to keep that number growing! You can help us raise greater public awareness by forwarding this message on to all your friends in this area. And don't forget to come out and join us on Sunday for a walk through this beautiful area!
