Alderville Black Oak Savanna
The Alderville Black Oak Savanna is the largest remnant of an endangered ecosystem found in central Ontario. It is part of what is known by the native Ojibway people as the “Lake of the Burning Plains”. In the oral tradition it was the vast fires on the south side of the lake that caused a reflection making the lake look like it was burning, on fire. This web-site will illustrate, the timeless relationship and interdependence of all living things, some quite rare, found on the Alderville Black Oak Savanna. We will take you on a journey through the ancestry, preservation and future of this site. The native people have long honoured the complex relationships that exist among its plants, animals, people and climate. The tradition continues. Learn how you can be part of this adventure at whatever level you wish. UPCOMING EVENT: September 11th, 2010 More information to come!
