We are delighted that Lambton area naturalist and author Larry Cornelis will be making a presentation. He is a Horticulturist, Naturalist and Ecological Restoration Consultant, vice-chair of Ontario Nativescapes, a conservation/ecological restoration non-profit organization, which has done thousands of acres of habitat restoration work in Southern Ontario specializing in Tall Grass Prairie restoration. He has worked with Ontario Nature and Nature Conservancy Canada, protecting ecologically significant lands and consulting on stewardship and restoration plans for these properties. He is a popular speaker for clubs and associations across southwestern Ontario and Michigan.

Larrys presentation is titled “Story of Our Local Landscapes - reflections on our future path”
Larry will take us on a journey through time, from the last ice-age to present day, focusing on the impacts of climate change, Indigenous land-care, colonialism, and industrialism on our local Great Lakes Landscapes. To conclude, considering the multiple crises we and Mother Earth are facing, Larry will share his personal reflections on our future path.
