What You Can Do

At the Cottage
  • Be sure to bring back all recyclables from your cottage and dispose of them, using your community recycling program (if available).
  • Start a Compost Pile.
  • Consider a biological toilet instead of a Septic Tank System. They are simple and produce no harmful residue or sludge.
  • If your cottage is located on or near a bank or shore, preserve as much of the natural vegetation as possible between the cottage and the water to reduce rainfall run–off that may carry harmful sewage organisms. Plan new shrubs and trees, if need be, using native species.

  • Preserve local wildlife by being careful not to disturb waterfowl or their nesting areas. Avoid filling in wetlands, altering shorelines or allowing dogs to run at large.
  • Make nature–oriented outdoor activities, such as bird watching, nature photography, animal study or stargazing, a hobby for the entire family.

If you find injured or dead birds with bands on their legs, contact environment Canada's Canadian Wildlife Service, your provincial wildlife department or call 1–800–327–2263 from anywhere in Canada.
