Marie-France Noel,
Eastern Ontario’s Model Forest
“Our Species at Risk”
Say “species at risk,”
and many Canadians think of Polar Bears or Whooping
Cranes. But there are many
animals, plants,
insects and birds at risk in our own region.
Marie-France Noël is the species at risk outreach
co-ordinator for Eastern Ontario’s Model Forest
program and she’ll tell us which aspects of our
local natural world need attention.
Marie-France
Noel is a new graduate from the Université du
Québec à Montréal in Environmental Sciences. In the
past few summers, she has worked on different species at
risk such as the piping plover bird, the Blandings’
turtle and the Coeur d’Alène salamander. Her field work
has brought her to British Columbia, the Maritimes,
Québec and Ontario while working with different
organizations such as the Canadian Wildlife Service, the
University of British Columbia, Parks Canada and the
National Capital Commission.
