Pretty cool experience for Fleming students and our staff at Kawartha Conservation.
Last week, our staff joined Fleming College Conservation Biology students on Pigeon River to practise seine netting, fish identification and safe handling. Hands-on learning that also helps us track changes in local fish communities.

Ontario is helping @NCC_CNC protect 200,000 acres of boreal forest, wetlands, and peatlands in the North - one of the largest private land conservations in Ontario’s history.
Great to join my federal colleagues @juliedabrusin, Nathalie Provost, and conservation parters.

Spring officially arrived at 10:46 a.m. today… even if snow and freezing rain say otherwise.
Warmer days are coming.
What signs of spring are you seeing or hearing? Birds? Melting snow? 🌱
