Quinte Conservation is bringing back its Adopt an Acre campaign, with this year’s donations supporting pond habitat improvements at the H.R. Frink Conservation Area.
The Frink Pond Project will help improve wildlife habitat while creating hands-on learning opportunities for students and visitors. The pond provides breeding conditions for salamanders and allows students to explore aquatic ecosystems through activities such as dip netting.
Money raised will support planting native, berry-producing shrubs and fast-growing trees to provide food and shelter for wildlife, increase plant diversity and stabilize soil.
A $30 donation allows people to symbolically adopt an acre of protected land. Each adoption includes a certificate and tax receipt. Those who adopt four or more acres will also receive a limited-edition 10-ounce YETI Rambler.
The campaign runs until Dec. 22. Donations requiring shipping must be made by Dec. 15. More information is available through Quinte Conservation’s website.
