ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Walpole Island Heritage Centre's Environmental Department is involved in many environmental issues regarding Walpole Island First Nation's well-being.

The Environmental staff is made up of a number of individuals skilled in many areas of environmental study. The Natural Heritage Program studies many nationally rare, threatened and endangered plant and wildlife species found on the Walpole Island First Nation. Along with their studies, they also pay much respect to Mother Nature as to not disrupt her ambience.

ENVIRONMENTAL PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT

To preserve, enhance and maintain a mutual respect and to continue our beneficial dependency upon the environment we shall endeavour to co-exist with Mother Nature and protect this relationship.

We, the Anishnabeg of the Walpole Island First Nation, pledge to use these resources to the mutual benefit of all people.

We shall therefore ensure proper respect for all resources. As our elders have done, we shall maintain laws that preserve our wildlife, lands and resources.
