White's Wetland

Committed to the protection and preservation of wetlands the world over. I blog from White's Wetland, a beautiful tract of land in the heart of southwestern Ontario that has been in our family since 1837. It is an officially recognized wetland, sanctuary to a wide variety of plants and animals. I've created this blog to share nature's beauty with others while disseminating information about the importance of wetlands in the great ecological scheme of things.

Why this Blog?

Victoria
I can think of no better way to use language than to speak out on behalf of those who cannot speak for themselves, the other species with whom we share this beautiful planet. I passionately support the preservation of wild habitat, the protection of endangered species and the principles of the Deep Ecology movement.
