The Credit River Watershed (headwaters in Orangeville to Lake Ontario in #Mississauga) is situated on the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN) and the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat and Haudenosaunee. #IndigenousHistoryMonth

While habitat loss threatens 97% of species at risk in the #Greenbelt, the connection between habitat protection & human health is often overlooked.
Many species have the ability to signal problems in ecosystems, like the health of drinking water or the onset of drought.

I saw this guy on the Credit valley trail yesterday, hopping into the rocky creek bed to get at the cooler water puddles. 📷

ALT Like frogs, toads are amphibians. They differ from most frogs because they have dry skin, warts, crests behind the eyes, and parotoid glands. The parotoid glands produce a poisonous secretion that helps the toad defend itself from predators. https://www.nwf.org/Educational-Resources/Wildlife-Guide/Amphibians/Toads

You never know who you might see along the Credit River! 🦌
Has anyone spotted any wildlife along the river recently? #WildlifeWednesday

The #Greenbelt protects some of Ontario’s oldest trees — eastern white cedars that cling to the rocks of the Escarpment.
Once covering 90% of southern Ontario's landscape, forests remain the most significant ecosystem in the Greenbelt. Let's continue to protect what remains.

Meet some of the other species that rely on the #Greenbelt's protected water systems. ⬇️
Headwaters in the Oak Ridges Moraine provide significant aquatic habitats, while urban river valleys are migratory routes for #birds. 🐦💙
