Of course, we support the proposal of protecting the Alfred Bog through the creation of a Provincial Park. It is the largest peat bog in southern Ontario, and one of only three raised peat bogs remaining in the southern half of Ontario. The Alfred Bog habitat is home to rare plants and species that must be protected.
Back in 2015, two industrial wind turbine projects proposed in The Nation Municipality were sited extremely close to the bog. The construction of turbines for the St.Isidore Wind Energy Centre and the Eastern Fields Wind Farm, as well as their access roads and transmission lines, would have had detrimental effects to the bog. The group Save The Nation strongly opposed both projects based on environmental harm.
