QUBS Adds New Biodiverse Property to its Holdings

October 11th, 2013

Queen's University has partnered with the Nature Conservancy of Canada and Echo Foundation to acquire a property with Class I wetland.

Adjacent to our Massasauga Tract, this new 159 hectare property acquired from Stephen and Roger Jones encompasses a swath of creek and adjacent wetland. Aside from its obvious value for research, teaching and outreach, the tract also helps to make QUBS land holdings more contiguous and ensure long-term conservation of resident species.
