Welcome back to another week at SSWA! This week, we continued our battle with the fallen logs, even bringing our lunches with us in the field one day to tackle as much work as we could. Thankfully that wasn’t all we did, we do need a break from stream restoration from time to time! Along with stream enhancement, we built bat boxes, bird boxes, checked out what furry friends we caught living around the watershed on our trail cameras, walked our final bank swallow survey on the beach and so much more! Two of our trail cameras were actually brought down from their trees by some sneaky racoons, only catching their feet once the deed was done!
A big part of our week was also spent spreading the news about our upcoming Swim for the South Shore. A few members of the crew went around to various local businesses putting up flyers and asking for a small donation. This swim helps support our organization and the work we do to protect and maintain the pristine waters on and near the south shore of PEI. This year’s swim will once again be held in Victoria By-The-Sea on August 19. Registration is open and we hope to see you there! https://raceroster.com/events/2023/77389/swim-for-the-south-shore-2023
Speaking of events, the annual Crapaud Exhibition is happening next weekend and we will be there on July 29th. Come say hi!
Be kind to the bees!
Love, SSWA
