Starting off the week on Monday, we focused on stream restoration, getting our hands dirty to improve local waterways.Tuesday started with an eelgrass survey led by Fletcher in Westmoreland, followed by more stream restoration and an estuary vegetation survey in Tryon, a busy but rewarding day!
On Wednesday we continued with stream restoration and ongoing eelgrass and vegetation surveys, taking the canoe and paddle boards out on the water to gather more data on our local ecosystems. Despite the rain on Thursday, Nout and Keiran went out seeking landowner permissions for future restoration efforts while the rest of us handled various office tasks and analyzed trail cam footage.
Friday was more stream restoration work along with preparing for next week’s macro surveys and our regularly scheduled cleaning and maintenance.
On Saturday (July 13) SSWA will have a booth set up at the Summerside ice pond from 10am-5pm so if you are in the area stop by and say hello!
