Simcoe Rotarians Hear About St. Williams Nursery & Ecology Centre Successes
At its first meeting in 2016, the Rotary Club of Simcoe, listened in rapt, even amazed, attention to Allan Arthur, M.Sc., President and Senior Ecologist, as he gave a well illustrated presentation about a new St. Williams Ecology business. An historic Forestry Farm site has been transformed into a 400 acre pioneer in 21st Century ecological renewal and preservation of native Ontario species. It is a viable, profitable, certainly trail-blazing, new business model. This is exciting news of the rapid shift in market sentiment in forestry, horticulture and ecologically sustaining landscape projects that promises the restoration of previously damaged or threatened environments.
