Sunscreen and Elbow Grease

July 21, 2023

The days of summer are flying by and July is nearing its end but our crew isn’t slowing down yet! This week was once again filled with bug spray and sunscreen as our crew continued their stream restoration efforts. The pressure is on to get as much done as we can before the season draws to a close. Although it’s tough work there is no better work environment than out in nature!

Some of the staff here at SSWA got to take a break from wearing their waders this week as they spoke to kids at camp Abegweit and Merry Pop-Ins summer camps on separate occasions. Our staff are always excited to speak with others and share their knowledge and love of nature.

Wednesday brought water quality and more preparations for our swim event (https://raceroster.com/events/2023/77389/swim-for-the-south-shore-2023). Speaking of our swim, our first beach clean up will be held on Friday July 28 at 1pm. The location is Beach Road, Borden-Carleton. Bring your own gloves and come join us! If you don’t have time to spare this Friday don’t fret, we will be holding a total of four beach cleanups before our swim. If the beach isn’t your thing (we know how annoying sandy shoes can be) but you still want to learn about all the cool ways you can be a friend to nature, come find us at our booth during the Crapaud exhibition on July 29th!

Practice sun safety!

Love, SSWA
