THE COOPER MARSH CONSERVATORS 

            The Cooper Marsh Conservators is a group of enthusiastic citizens having an environmental awareness and a determination to inform the public about The Marsh as a wildlife refuge and an education centre. To help achieve this goal, the conservators opened the Visitors’ Centre each weekend during the September ’05 to June ’06 period and offered light refreshments to our visitors.

            With the active participation and partnership of the St. Lawrence River Institute of Environmental Sciences, the conservators’ intention is to encourage the public to become aware of the flora and fauna in our environment and the responsibilities we have regarding that environment.

            An important aspect of the conservators’ mandate is to contribute to the up-keep of the Visitors’ Centre. This will continue to be realized with funds generated through the operation of the Gift Shop & Craft Boutique and hosting such events as Craft Shows and our annual Harvest Wine and Cheese.
