People who care about local forests, wetlands and alvars. People who value a simple walk in the woods and show gratitude by helping us maintain the trails. People who love wildlife, birds, plants and more. People just like you! As a follower, we know that you love nature. Will you make a gift today to help protect nature? https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/m/13750/?v1=true
Our Stewardship team is busy compiling data and in Our Stewardship team is busy compiling data and information on Community Science efforts from the past year. Here's Conservation Biologist, Toby Rowland, presenting on our Reptile program (thanks Marilyn for the sneaky photo!). Community Science programs are critical to the work we do. By working with volunteers, we gain valuable data on species such as turtles, snakes, salamanders, bats and much more. This data is used in a number of ways, such as giving us insights into what is happening in our region, species that are moving into our area due to a changing climate, and it is also shared with other organizations such as the Natural Heritage Information Centre. ℹ️ Interested in helping out next year? Sign up to our email list to be notified of when we are recruiting and learn more on our Volunteer webpage. https://couchichingconserv.ca/how-to-help/volunteer/

Thumbs up for keeping our windows safe for birds! Thumbs up for keeping our windows safe for birds! 👍 Here's Alysha Henry, our Stewardship Assistant, putting up dots on our windows at the office so they are more visible to birds. This helps reduce the chances of them striking the window and injuring themselves. What do you do to help our feathered friends?
Did you know...❄️🌨 One of the determining Did you know...❄️🌨 One of the determining factors in the shape of individual snowflakes is the air temperature around it. The study of flakes has identified that long, thin needle-like ice crystals form at around -2 C (28 F), while a lower temperature of -5 C (23 F) will lead to very flat plate-like crystals. Further changes in temperature as the snowflake falls determines different shapes of the six arms or dendritic structure of the crystal.
