Last week TREC partnered with the PEI AgriWatershed Partnership to install a grassed waterway in order to reduce in-stream sedimentation from soil erosion. Berms were also built to divert flow towards the grassed waterway and energy dissipators were put in place to slow flowing waters before entering the stream. This project will work to reduce agricultural runoff and keep topsoil on the field, improving surface water and soil health.It is important to use a jute erosion mat to protect your structures and keep them functioning properly, this jute will eventually degrade leaving a functional grassed waterway.Thank you to the AgriWatershed Partnership and the landowners for working to create an overall healthier watershed! ...

Last week TREC along with the help of the PEI Watershed Alliance team removed invasive Wild Cucumber from 1.2 km of hedgerow and riparian zone as part of our invasive species management. Wild Cucumber can be a nuisance, smothering native vegetation and sometimes impacting crops as well. It can be identified by its bright green colour, vining quality, large leaves with 5 deep triangular lobes and a heart-shaped base, white flowers, and in mid to late August they produce non-edible green spiked fruits.For full management instructions and how to report invasive species visit the PEI Invasive Species Council website at peiinvasives.com/ ...

This month we have been removing major blockages in streams within the Trout River Watershed. Removing blockages from streams improves fish passage, water flow and meander pattern. It also opens up areas that provide habitat for wildlife. It is, however, important not to remove all the woody debris from a stream. Woody debris in a stream traps organic material providing an important food source, helps stabilize banks against erosion and creates places for fish to hide and spawn. ... See MoreSee Less
