Dundas Ontario In Transition

LETS DO IT!

Dundas Eco Park is a vision of many people, including the late Bruce Duncan, former general manager of the Hamilton Conservation Authority, of protecting and promoting the importance, significance and uniqueness of the marsh and wetlands that comprise Cootes Paradise, the Desjardins Canal and the Royal Botanical Gardens.

Cootes Paradise Marsh is considered one of the most important waterfowl staging habitats on the lower Great Lakes and the largest nursery habitat for fish in the region. The Government of Ontario has designated Cootes Paradise as a Provincially Significant Class 1 Wetland and an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI). It also is listed as an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) in the Hamilton Region.
