Tracking and promoting the health of Big Rideau Lake is one of our key concerns. Our lake's environment supports a great diversity of wildlife, in its deep cold water, along its rocky shorelines and in its wetlands.

Within the BRLA, we work to monitor, maintain and protect the water quality, shores and environs of Big and Lower Rideau Lakes, and study and report on environmental issues that affect our area. We're also active in the protection of wildlife habitat.

• EnviroCamp for Kids 2010: see Recreation Page for details
• Cow Island Environmental Assessment Report (PDF)

If you would like to get involved, please contact us. We'd love to hear from you.

Note: Some environmental research projects initiated by the BRLA were transferred when the BRLA helped create the Center for Sustainable Watersheds (CSW), as a site for primary research into environmental issues. See the CSW web site at http://www.watersheds.ca for further information.
