Chatham-based Union Gas has donated $12,000 to the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority (SCRCA) to fund a newly rehabilitated wetland on authority property adjacent to Black Creek in Wilkesport.
Healthy Watershed Specialist Jessica Van Zwol says, according to Environment Canada, we've lost 68% of our wetlands in southern Ontario.
She says through wetland restoration projects they're moving toward their goal of improving the health of the watershed.
