This presentation takes a close look at the ecology of limestone plains (alvars) found scattered around central Ontario. It is a harsh environment, subject to flooding and drought each year; therefore the plants and wildlife that live here are a hardy and often unique group.
David Hawke has been visiting this habitat since the 1970s. His stories and photographs will reveal the lure and excitement of exploring alvars.
