❄️2025⛷️🏂Winter Hiking⛄ Welcome To Pinhey Sand Dunes Trails Part 5 in Ottawa ⛷️❄️⛄ Canada 🍁

The Pinhey Sand Dunes, located in Ottawa, are a fascinating natural feature and a rare ecosystem. These dunes are remnants of the Champlain Sea, which existed over 10,000 years ago after the glaciers retreated. The area is home to unique plant and animal species that thrive in the well-drained, sandy environment. Restoration efforts have been ongoing to preserve this delicate ecosystem, including removing invasive pine trees and protecting the dunes from erosion2.
