The District of Muskoka announced the launch of its new EnviroHub yesterday.
The online portal will be a source of information on the District’s environmental programs, initiatives and project partners.
According to a media release from the District, the EnviroHub features everything from Muskoka’s Climate Change Strategy and the Greenhouse Gas Initiative to its Lake System Health Program and Floodplain Mapping projects.
Residents interested in learning more about these topics can visit the EnviroHub or subscribe to its newsletter.
“The District has such a wide range of unique, watershed-wide initiatives in partnership with the community,” said Christy Doyle, director of environment and watershed programs at the District of Muskoka. “The EnviroHub will help to bring awareness to our policies and programs, especially as we continue to explore local environmental conditions. Integrating action, evidence, and nature-based solutions is Muskoka’s response to the changing climate.”
The EnviroHub will soon release an article series to highlight the Making Waves: Integrated Watershed Management initiative. Articles will be posted regularly on the Making Waves Engage Muskoka Website that dives deeper into each project. Readers can learn more about integrated watershed management, including:
- what a hydrological model is,
- how dams change water movements through the watershed,
- why natural capital and municipal policy are linked, and more.
The articles will also describe what floodplains are, how they are mapped, and how they play a role in flood management. Subscribe here to receive updates from Making Waves.
