In the winter, many students practiced fire-biulding in a field has been taken over by smooth brome grass. Revisiting the fire pits today, I saw salaginella, yarrow, and pasture sage peeking out from the ashes. So curious to see what happens next....

We are always looking for #volunteers in the #SouthSaskRiverWatershed to install substrate samples at their dock to monitor for #ZebraMussels! Early detection will be key! Contact us if you are interested and share this post with anyone who might be a good fit! #InvSpWk

Construction of 28 ditchplugs will restore 26.3 #wetland acres, providing #habitat for wildlife, including #pollinators and #speciesatrisk, nutrient filtration, 105,000 m3 of flood storage, and sequestration of 17 tonnes of CO2e annually. #wetlandsforthewin

On this project in east-central SK, #UAV data is being used to help restore 26.3 acres of #wetland #habitat. These images show the historic distribution of wetlands from 1958 and the pre-restoration pic from 2020. Stay tuned for plans for its #restoration.

A compelling argument for conserving and restoring peatlands in our efforts to address climate change. And why trees may not belong everywhere. loom.ly/YeJolWE
