Chapter Description
Freshwater Conservation Canada Millbrook is a new chapter in southeast Ontario. Millbrook is a small rural community south of Peterborough, Ontario, on the edge of the Oak Ridges Moraine.
With outdoor recreation being a huge draw to the area, the small cold-water trout streams are often overlooked for the larger waters of the Kawartha Lakes. The Millbrook chapter will focus first on the beautiful Baxter and Squirrel Creeks that meander through the town and surrounding landscape. The chapter aims to bring existing groups and residents together to work collectively to maintain and, in some areas, improve a stream system with much potential to be a top-notch trout fishery.
Freshwater Conservation Canada Millbrook would like to serve as a resource for landowners in the area who are looking for assistance with issues such as erosion, sediment control, bank stabilization, riparian planting, and stream cleanup, to name a few, by assisting volunteers and the professional network on Freshwater Conservation Canada. The chapter would like to improve fish populations, fish habitat, drinking water and the overall aesthetics of the landscape. All while having fun and making new friends!
Chapter History
The history of this Chapter just starts with husband and wife Scott and Cori's love for the outdoors. They wanted to extend their passion for helping others, setting an example for their young daughter Sawyer that giving back is always the best way to live!
