Stopping Litter and Macroplastics from Becoming Microplastics in Georgian Bay Water
Each year we remove approximately 1,000 pounds of litter from the Georgian Bay shores. Imagine what Georgian Bay would look like without these efforts, and you’ll know why this work is necessary.
Further to the importance of cleaning our beach areas, this work diverts the plastic pollution from entering the lake, where it will inevitably break down over the course of centuries, continuously spreading microplastic particles and degrading the health of the water.
Learn about this historic oasis in downtown Meaford with a 30-minute guided walking tour with an expert from the Beautiful Joe Heritage Society. Highlights include the story of the author who made Meaford’s own Beautiful Joe famous; history of the park and its monuments and bits about nature. A little something for everyone. Tours are cancelled if it is raining. Private tours can be arranged by contacting admin@beautifuljoe.org or leave a message 519-538-5895.
