Burl's Creek a Simcoe Conservation Priority!

The Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation recently voted to provide $50,000 toward the restoration of Burl's Creek, located on the north shore of Lake Simcoe.
Studies of the creek conducted last year revealed elevated levels of organic matter and some barriers that limit its support of a cold water habitat for brook trout, according to a statement from the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority.
The organic matter in question may be the result of farming activities or faulty septic systems, according to the authority.

Burl's Creek is one of 19 sub-watersheds that feed Lake Simcoe.
