Come for a Sunday afternoon walk in the South March Highlands near Kizzel Pond to find out what happens in the forest in winter.
The walk will be led by Martha Weber, a local naturalist and expert on the flora and fauna of the South March Highlands. Be prepared for cold weather and to walk in the woods in deep snow. If you have snowshoes or skis, consider bringing them! Please RSVP, so we know the numbers.
KEN's meeting in March will focus on the issues of water management in the Kanata area: storm water management, sanitation sewers, and the effect of development on natural water systems and flood plains. The guest speaker will be Paul Renaud. Stay tuned for details. In the meantime, you can read some background Info.

The new Kanata Energy Group (KEG) is planning an event in coordination with Tucker House and the Seventh Generation Learning Series. The presentation will follow a real-life Ottawa family as they try to cut their carbon footprint by conserving electricity and natural gas, driving less, eating more sustainably, and reducing consumption. In the course of the presentation you will find 25 no --to-low cost ways to save 25% of your green-house gas emissions.
What is KEN?
The Kanata Environmental Network (KEN for short) is a volunteer-run organization in the community of Kanata, Ontario. We share information about practical, ecologically-friendly solutions with Kanata residents, and work towards a green and healthy future.
