This last week flew by! We were sad to see the end of the season, but are happy that it has been such a good and productive few months with a great group of hardworking people. We got things done even though it was the last week, spending the beginning of the week working on making more brush mats and installing more fish cover logs. We put a few more in each of the watersheds and felt very accomplished for doing better than some of the season work goals we had set.
We also spent Thursday going around to our parks one last time to tidy them up for the fall. We hope you get out to enjoy our hard work! We mowed and whippersnipped each location and weeded the pollinator gardens to ensure that the pollinator-friendly plants were not getting choked out by weeds that are less favourable. We have had these gardens for four or five years now and are happy to see so many of the plants taking off and doing really well, as well as observing pollinators throughout the season taking refuge in these gardens.
On the last day we cleaned up one of the beaches in our jurisdiction and then paddled down the Westmoreland Estuary to check on things and celebrate the end of the summer. Thanks for sticking along with us, and we hope to see you with our 2026 Season Blog next summer!
Love, SSWA
