Source water protection means protecting our water sources from contamination and overuse. It’s critical for us, the environment, and the economy.

Today’s #FrostyFriend, the Black Bear has impressive abilities to survive our harsh winters. ❄️ In the winter, black bear slow their heart rate & synchronize it with their breathing. This allows them to conserve energy while maintaining their flight or fight response. #Wildlife

Groundwater or surface water? 💧 Where does your water come from?

Climate change affects us all! It’s important to do your part to help mitigate climate change… plant a tree, get a rain barrel, plan meals to reduce waste, use a clothesline to dry clothes, turn lights off when you’re not in a room! Every bit helps! #SKTreeforLife

Do you know where Saskatchewan water ends up? 💧 Saskatchewan water contributes to 3 major drainage basins. 1 - The Hudson Bay; 2 - The Gulf of Mexico; 3 - The Arctic Ocean

Today’s #FrostyFriend, the Downy Woodpecker has impressive abilities to survive our harsh winters. ❄️ Did you know Downy Woodpeckers join mixed flocks of birds in the winter, such as red-breasted nuthatches? This helps them avoid predators and find food.

DYK that 10 yr old trees absorb approx. 48 lbs of CO2/yr & young trees 13 lbs of CO2/yr! Imagine what 24,000 trees could do! The #SKTreeforLife Program & its partners, have been giving trees away to be planted across the province to help mitigate climate change! #ClimateChange

A friendly reminder to enjoy the outdoors even in the winter! Here are 6 winter fun ideas…build a fort, go snowshoeing, have a winter campfire, make a snowcone, go ice-fishing, donate to a coat drive!

You can make a difference for climate change – reducing waste, water usage, energy use and driving help. So does planting trees, a garden, recycling, reusing products! All these things are “easy” & can help mitigate climate change. #SKTreeforLife #ClimateChange

[CarrotRiverWatershed @crwatershed]

Can nature be a prescription for your health? Absolutely! It comes with many benefits!

Today’s #FrostyFriend, the Snowshoe Hare has impressive abilities to survive our harsh winters. ❄️ Their large and wide “snowshoes” – their hind feet allow them to walk on snow and are where they get their name from. #Saskatchewan #Winter #Wildlife

[CarrotRiverWatershed @crwatershed]

Overall, the carbon uptake by trees reduces the rate that carbon accumulates in the atmosphere. An acre of forest can sequester more than a ton of carbon dioxide every year! #SKTreeforLife #ClimateChange

Happy World Wetlands Day! 💧 Take some time today to reflect on what wetlands do for you. 😀
