This week our group was full of hands-on work and teamwork. To start off the week Nout, Ash, Kieran and Romy installed brush mats in Westmoreland on Monday. Tuesday was another productive day, with two more brush mats being installed in DeSable by Nout, Kieran, and Ash. These mats play a crucial role in stabilizing stream banks and protecting our waterways. Along with brush mats, we also spent some time delivering landowner permission forms throughout our area.
Wednesday was our busiest day this week. The whole crew came together in the DeSable Estuary to race the tide to install coir logs, which are used to help prevent erosion and support plant growth along the shoreline. It was hard work, but the team’s energy and dedication made it all come together smoothly.
Thursday saw Ryan, Ash, Nout and Nick back in the stream again, once again installing some brush mats. With everyone pitching in, we were able to make great progress.
To wrap up our week on Friday the crew gathered in the office to do some last minute preparations and planning for our Swim For the South Shore! It has been a busy but rewarding week, and we can’t wait to see the positive impact of all the work we’ve done.
If you haven’t registered yet do not fret! You can sign up for the swim anytime before 11:45am on Saturday (tomorrow). 12pm sharp is when the horn will go and the race will begin!
