The province has announced more funding to protect species at risk.
Stewardship projects in Huron Bruce will receive more than 120 thousand dollars from the Species at Risk fund this year.
The Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation and the Huron Stewardship Council will each receive over 46 thousand dollars.
The Friends of MacGregor Point will get 10 thousand and the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority will receive 17 thousand dollars.
That is on top of the 30 thousand announced last week for the Piping Plover project in Sauble Beach and Wasaga Beach.
Minister of Natural Resources Donna Cansfield says the plover money will pay for signage to educate people about the birds and how to protect them.
The funding is coming from the stewardship fund, which is 18 million dollars of funding available over 4 years specifically to deal with species at risk.
Cansfield says organizations are encouraged to come forward with proposals.
She says we need to realize it’s important to co-exist with our ecosystem, and the species we live with have a right to exist.
Cansfield says humans put the footprint down and changed the habitat of endangered species, so it’s up to us to help them.
