Nature Bits 2

Photo by Paul Wallace of CressyAs the NatureStuff website continues to grow, there are often articles and submissions that we want to see on the website, but don’t really fit under any of the current Menu headings. This section is where you are apt to find these miscellaneous topics. If you have any ideas for topics of interest for the NatureStuff website, feel free to e-mail me and we’ll have a look at what you’ve got. As much as we can, we like to focus on the Quinte region and all the different opportunities there are out there for nature enthusiasts. But don’t let that stop you from submitting something for consideration.
Currently, this section of the website offers the following: Do you have an environmental beef? Then submit it to me for consideration and I will post it under our  Environmental Rant section. Learn about a rare Grey Fox in Thurlow, where you can have kayak trailers made in Napanee, or learn what most County folks think about wind turbines.  More will be appearing in the months to come. Be sure to check in again.
