Spring brings renewal not just for us but for wildlife too! 🌊🐟 Thanks to seasonal floods, trout can swim upstream to spawn when beaver dams burst. Nature's balance in action! 📸: Rose Ratliffe #NaturePhotography #SpringFlooding #WildlifeConservation

🌎Happy #EarthDay2024 !
How will you celebrate the Earth today?

It's still not quite time for our crews to pack their bags for the field season...but they couldn't resist the lure of warm weather last week! Our team celebrated the return of spring by honing their early-season plant (and bird) skills in the coulees of Lethbridge.

We had a fantastic first field day of the season pretending to be beavers, repairing beaver dam analogues with Blood Tribe Land Management and @cowsandfish so they can continue to capture the spring runoff 💧and enhance riparian vegetation 🍃

📢The Drought Mitigation Workshop at Westerdale Hall is only 1 week away, so register today to learn about on-farm water management resources, #riparianareas , #beavers , #ABtrout , & funding programs for water conservation projects.
