Natural History
“Our ability to perceive quality in nature begins, as in art, with the pretty. It expands through successive stages of the beautiful to values as yet uncaptured by language.” Aldo Leopold
This section is the main reason for building the website – to provide a place to showcase the natural history of the Rainy River District. This will be an on-going project requiring many years to complete. Well, to be honest, an impossible task – there is just too much to learn about any one area! Except where credited, all of the photos in this website were taken by Ilka Milne or Bob Saunders. We welcome photos of plants and animals from the region taken by others, and all photos will be credited if they are used. We also welcome articles about the natural history of the area. As the saying goes, “Many hands make work light”.
Come back occasionally, as we are continually working to update the site and add content. You can send comments to us on the Contact page.
