Kids are the future managers of the watershed and OWC was proud to host 2 kids events this summer, in partnership with the Galt Museum & Archives and sponsored by ATCO. Together we inspired over 200 kids and parents to #loveyourwatershed!
An adventurous gopher tapes some moose antlers on his head, hops in a canoe, and heads out to explore his watershed - all the way to the sea! Outreach Assistants Rebekkah and Sydney play and review the board game, “Moopher’s Amazing Journey to the Sea.”
Managers are getting creative when it comes to fighting back against invasive weeds. Outreach Assistants Sydney and Rebekkah share some of the innovative methods used in our watershed that they learned about on the South West Invasive Managers (SWIM) tour in July 2019.
Our Outreach Assistants are halfway through their summer! Read about some of their adventures so far, including meeting “Mantracker” Terry Grant, encountering their first snake, and more!

This guest blog is about the Magrath Nature Trail Project, which was created by grandfather-granddaughter duo Don and Hazel. They are focusing on ways to enhance the trail to benefit the Northern Leopard Frog, and Hazel is learning about environmental stewardship and the democratic process along the way!
