<p>The Friends of Stittsville Wetlands are rolling out a new Turtle Conservation Program for the Goulbourn Wetland Complex and its two tributaries, Poole Creek and Flowing Creek.</p>
<p>To gauge community support for this initiative, the Friends of Stittsville Wetlands hosted an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MDtI95NqIY">“All About Turtles” Earth Day Forum</a> in April. The event raised public awareness about turtles, conservation efforts, and explored the key elements and benefits of rolling out a community science program for our community.</p>
<p>The Friends of Stittsville Wetlands Turtle Conservation Program will be rolled out in two phases from 2026 to 2027. Learn more about our eight native freshwater turtle species, how you can help them, and the Turtle Conservation Program by visiting the <a href="https://www.friendsofstittsvillewetlands.com/our-conservation-program">Friends of Stittsville Wetlands website</a>.</p>

<p>Poole Creek stretches and meanders from one end of the community to the other, surrounded by majestic trees that stand sturdy on watch over our neighbourhoods. For Bruce Dudley, the stewardship of our lands is a passion that runs deeper than the wetlands and stretches farther than our community borders.</p>
<p>“I have been passionate about the environment my entire life,” says Bruce, a 24-year resident of Stittsville. “Growing up, I spent a lot of time in nature and developed a passion for protecting our native species.”</p>
<p>Bruce recently retired from the Delphi Group where he held the post of Senior Vice President. In his most recent role, he provided high level strategic advice to corporations on sustainability and climate change to effect change in corporate and public behaviour. He is currently the CEO and founder of Your Forest Canada.</p>
<p>Bruce lives his passion beyond the corporate environment and pours hours and effort into the Stittsville Community. This year will mark three clean up missions of Poole Creek. And we are not just talking about garbage pick-up. Dressed in hip waiters and determination, Bruce organizes a crew of volunteers to undertake clean up efforts along the creek on an annual basis. He works closely with Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and the Ottawa River Keepers to ensure the health of the delegate ecosystem.</p>
<p>Bruce has also led the charge in advocating for mini-forests, woodland clean-ups, and has worked closely with Nature Metrics, the local conservation authorities, and Network of Nature to bring education on biodiversity to our community. He has collaborated with local schools to involve students in firsthand data collection along Poole Creek. (Did you know: Poole Creek is home to more than thirty species of fish.) Most recently, he is teaming up with the Friends of the Wetlands to help in conservation efforts, and the restoration of ecological significant woodlots in the community.</p>
<p>“If you want to be involved in real change, stay connected to the community. Be aware of what is happening and join volunteer efforts,” says Bruce. “We live in a great community, with engaged citizens. Real, positive impact is possible.”</p>

<h3 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>CHANGER LES CHOSES : Bruce Dudley</strong></h3>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Le ruisseau Poole s’étend et serpente d’un bout à l’autre de la communauté, et il est entouré d’arbres majestueux et solides qui veillent sur nos quartiers. Pour Bruce Dudley, la gestion de nos terres est une passion qui va bien au-delà des terres marécageuses et des frontières de notre communauté.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">« Toute ma vie, j’ai été passionné par l’environnement », déclare Bruce, résident de Stittsville depuis 24 ans. « En grandissant, j’ai passé beaucoup de temps dans la nature et j’ai développé une passion pour la protection de nos espèces indigènes. »</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Bruce a récemment pris sa retraite du groupe Delphi, où il occupait le poste de vice-président principal. Dans ses dernières fonctions, il a fourni des conseils stratégiques de haut niveau aux entreprises sur le développement durable et les changements climatiques afin d’encourager le changement du comportement des entreprises et du public. Il est le fondateur de Your Forest Canada, et il occupe actuellement le poste de directeur général.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Bruce vit sa passion au-delà de l’environnement d’entreprise, et il consacre des heures et des efforts dans la communauté de Stittsville. Cette année marquera la troisième année des missions de nettoyage du ruisseau Poole. Nous ne parlons pas seulement du ramassage des ordures. Vêtu de bottes cuissardes imperméables et de sa détermination, Bruce organise chaque année une équipe de bénévoles pour nettoyer le long du ruisseau. Il travaille en étroite collaboration avec l’Office de protection de la nature de la vallée de la rivière Mississippi et l’organisme Garde-rivière des Outaouais pour assurer la santé de l’écosystème délégué.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Bruce a également pris l’initiative de promouvoir les mini-forêts et le nettoyage des terrains boisés, et il a travaillé en étroite collaboration avec Nature Metrics, l’office local de la protection de la nature, et avec Network of Nature afin de sensibiliser notre communauté à la biodiversité. Il a collaboré avec les écoles locales pour faire participer les élèves à la collecte de données de première main le long du ruisseau Poole. (Le saviez-vous : le ruisseau Poole abrite plus de trente espèces de poissons). Plus récemment, il s’est associé à l’association Friends of the Wetlands pour contribuer aux efforts de conservation et à la restauration de boisés importants sur le plan écologique dans la communauté.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">« Si vous voulez participer à un véritable changement, restez en communication avec la communauté. Soyez au courant de ce qui se passe et participez à des missions de bénévolat », déclare Bruce. « Nous vivons dans une formidable communauté, avec des citoyens mobilisés. Des répercussions importantes et positives sont possibles ».</p>
