Take new self-guided tour to see Tundra Swans
They’re back!!! Tundra Swans are returning to the area (specifically, locations in Lambton County).
Want to see them for yourself? Take the new, self-guided Return of the Swans – Land Stewardship Tour.
For the Interactive StoryMap link, visit our stewardship web page: Stewardship Web Page
Check out our Migration Probability Calendar (based on years of local data) to find the best time to visit the sites! It's on the web page.
Every year, thousands of Tundra Swans rest and refuel right here in our local watershed.
After flying hundreds of kilometres, they stop here to feast on leftover corn and meltwater to gain the energy needed for the next leg of their journey.
While you’re watching the skies to look for these wonderful creatures, take a look at the ground beneath them.
The return of the swans reminds us how important and diverse our local landscapes are.
Our partners are working year-round on incredible stewardship projects and we are so proud to work with partners to keep our entire ecosystem thriving.
Dive into the New Interactive StoryMap to learn more about the Tundra Swan migration and discover the stewardship successes and partners shaping the future of our local water, soil and habitat.
