Summer is such a sensational time to explore nature. Here is some of what we’ve been up to: sampling creek water and insects, looking for animal tracks, and finding out how the salmon, the river and the forest work together.
We take a look at lower Kanaka, which is being influenced now by ocean tides as the Fraser freshet gets underway.
Students did a fantastic job planting and mulching on this restoration site 1.0 km upstream of the Stewardship Center.
It’s early spring somewhere in Maple Ridge, as these common garters leave their hibernacula.
Mild outflow winds that raised the temperature to just shy of 15 degrees greeted the students as they mulched restoration plantings and removal invasive Scotch broom on this fine January afternoon.
The forest is dark as we head towards the shortest day of the year. Spencer Creek recorded 8 degrees and a pH of 6.5.
