Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We’re celebrating all things green 🍀

Not just green clovers but the species that call the Credit River Watershed home, like:
🐸 Green frog
🦋 Green darner
🐦 Green heron
🍄 Green wood cup

Some are common, others are a lucky find but all are signs of a healthy watershed. Share your green wildlife or landscape photos with us in the comments below 👇

#WorldWildlifeDay continues with a visit from an adorable river otter at Island Lake Conservation Area today! 🦦

River otters are playful, curious and an important part of healthy aquatic ecosystems. Their presence is a positive sign of improving water quality and strong fish populations in the watershed.

If you’re lucky enough to spot one, remember to give it space and enjoy from a distance. Wildlife sightings are a reminder that conservation works. Learn more about river otters in the Credit River Watershed: https://t.co/gwkmklTgX6

What you do on your property matters, no matter how small it is. The second largest population of endangered mottled duskywing occurs along the road sides of a low density residential area in Ontario. The folks that choose not to mow are supporting it's existence here.

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970's via @fietsprofessor. The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today. Better choices instead of excuses.

Hi my spider people, is this a black purseweb spider? Seen today in Mississauga, Ontario (but not by me). @Cataranea @spiderdayNight 🕷️

I've slowly worked through these essays over many weekend morning coffees. Has left me awake at night, but also thinking about what to do next. From the scale of the problem to solutions in soils and the water cycle, to name a few #allwecansave #climateaction
