💧 TREC has just recently completed a project on Anderson’s Creek which works to improve fish passage from head of tide, to upstream habitat. As part of our regular Riparian Health Assessments, we also complete crossing assessments which help us to determine if culverts and other crossings allow for proper fish passage or need to be replace/mitigated in the future. 🐟 Last year it was determined that a crossing on St Marys Rd in Stanley Bridge did not allow for fish passage, making it difficult for brook trout and other aquatic species to migrate to suitable habitat further upstream. With help from local contractors and professionals, as well as guidance from the provincial and federal government, TREC installed rock weirs in order to elevate the water level below the culvert, allowing water to flow within the crossing and allow for proper fish passage. These rock weirs are a series of constructed pools, which work to gradually elevate water levels, and create fish habitat. Check out the before and after photos of this crossing! ...

🦇 Happy Bat Week and Happy Halloween from TREC 🦇Pictured is the Little Brown Bat or Little Brown Myotis. Bats are amazing creatures, which roost and hibernate on PEI. They love to live in riparian areas and mixed forest types roosting under the bark of dead trees and in large tree cavities. Bats can also be found roosting in man made structures like buildings and bat boxes, as well as hibernating in old sandstone wells! It is important to conserve sandstone wells on PEI , if you or someone you know has an old sandstone well, please let us know!Little brown bats and other bats on PEI can also make amazing pest control. While nursing their pups these bats can eat up to half their body weight in insects in just one night! We along with other watershed groups under the @peiwatershedalliance PEI Watershed Alliance , with the help of experts like the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative monitor this and other declining bat species on PEI. Bats on PEI and all over North America are being impacted by white nose syndrome and habitat loss, making it all the more important than ever to conserve riparian and forest habitat on PEI 🌲🌳(amazing photos taken by Jean-Jacques Strydom in Millvale area)#BatWeek ...
