First-hand experience is priceless. That's why, since 2018, South Shore Joint Initiative has hosted more than 50 educational walks known as South Shore Strolls for several hundred individuals.

Drawing nature enthusiasts, hikers, photographers, families and a few dogs, Strolls enable people to discover Prince Edward County's South Shore up close and personally on Saturday mornings 9 or 10 months of the year.
About Us
Founded in 2018, we're a volunteer-led charity that's working to protect and preserve the South Shore of Prince Edward County, a place where biodiversity and people thrive. We educate and advocate for the conservation and restoration of South Shore’s lands and waters, which include 26 kilometres of undeveloped shoreline on the north side of Lake Ontario. In 2023, our advocacy work culminated in the creation of Monarch Point Conservation Reserve (CR), Ontario's first new CR since 1999!
As part of our education work, we offer FREE strolls throughout the year, where visitors can enjoy the stunning views of Lake Ontario, learn about the rich biodiversity and heritage of the area, and meet our partner experts (wildlife photographers, biologists and conservation experts). Participants are invited to donate $10 and to ensure accessibility, donations are always optional.
Each Stroll presents hidden opportunities to observe unique landscapes, learn about fascinating species, including the iconic Blanding's Turtle, the beautiful Monarch Butterfly or new resident Bald Eagles.
Your $10 donation or monthly support will help us keep delivering engaging and educational Strolls throughout 2024. Donations will cover transportation, education, and outreach costs. Donate now and help us engage more people in a rare and insightful 2024 South Shore Stroll experience!
Our national, provincial and local partners and public members actively support our work in the County's South Shore. Learn more about membership and how to donate here.
