Ontario Nature’s Stone Road Alvar Nature Reserve, located on Pelee island, protects globally rare habitat, including open alvar. To restore open alvar habitat and prevent further encroachment of woody vegetation, we conducted a prescribed burn project beginning in 2018 with researchers and partner organizations. Over the past three years, researchers have monitored various species at risk on lands owned by Ontario Nature, Nature Conservancy of Canada and Essex Region Conservation Authority to determine the effects of the prescribed burn on species at risk.

Join our conservation staff, partners and researchers, for a FREE webinar discussing the results of this restoration project.
