We had a great time out in the Jackpines with the Lesser Slave Forest Education Society and Work Wild last week teaching High Prairie School kids about ecology and the wonderful secrets of the forest!

Lake "weeds" like Coontail and Northern Watermilfoil could be one of the answers to combatting blue green algae in our lakes #FunFactFriday #Coontail #LakeWeeds #BlueGreenAlgae #LSWC

Today we had a blast with the grade 6 class from Atikameg adventuring in the jack pine forest just north of High Prairie! We ventured into the bog, found some mushrooms (a couple were drying on trees for a squirrels future dinner), and ended with a plot study.

Last week we did some invertebrate sampling at Hilliard's Bay Provincial Park! In the last picture you can spot a broad headed mayfly nymph, meaning that the water at this point in Slave Lake is pretty healthy! #LSWC #Watershed #WPAC #WaterQuality #MayflyNymph

Today is our summer student Ashley's last day. Her sarcasm and work effort will be greatly missed in the office! We wish her the best of luck with the coming school year and we reeeeeeally hope she'll come back and work for us next year!
