The Benefits of Beavers information session teaches that coexistence with beavers can aid in protecting wildlife habitats, save community resources, and help solve problems related to drought, flooding, and infrastructure damage. Non-lethal, co-existence methods can be used to help manage beaver activities. Low impact strategies that will be covered during workshops include pond levellers and beaver exclusion fencing.
This session will be facilitated by professionals from Van Isle Wetlands & Rewilding Water and Earth Inc.
Professional Childcare will be offered at Mansons Hall Playschool during the Field Tour.

It's Emergency Preparedness Week - Are You Ready for the Unexpected?
Emergencies can strike at any moment, and often, there’s little time to react. Power outages, water shortages, or the need to evacuate can happen without warning. Are you prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours? 🕒✨
Here’s what you need to stay safe and resilient:
🚰 Water: At least two litres per person per day. Pack small bottles that are easy to carry in case you need to evacuate.
🥫 Non-perishable Food: Stock up on canned goods, energy bars, and dried foods. Remember to replace these annually!
🔦 Light and Information: Include a crank or battery-powered flashlight (and extra batteries), and a similar radio.📻 Test and replace batteries once a year.
🩹First Aid Kit: Essential for handling minor injuries and emergencies.
🧰 Essentials Kit: Extra keys, cash in small bills, and your emergency plan and contact information.
Make sure your kit is portable, stored in an easily accessible place like your front-hall closet, and known to all household members. If your family is large, consider personal grab-and-go kits for each member.
