Critter Dipping Workshop

July 25, 2018

Since the previous Critter Dipping Workshop was quite popular, we’ve decided to host a second one! On Wednesday, July 25th, we are hosting another FREE Critter Dipping Workshop, where participants will be learning about and capturing benthic macrointervebrates! Come to the Marysville Heritage Center from 6:30PM to 8:00PM for this exciting hands-on experience. There is no registration required for participating, but there are limited nets available, and they will be given out on a first come, first serve basis.

We will be providing nets, buckets, and snacks for this event. As the event will take place by a pond, we recommend that participants wear rubber boots and clothes that can get dirty, as well as bring bugspray.

Five Groups Submit Request for Water Classification of the Nashwaak River Watershed

June 29, 2012

Text from Press Release issued June 19, 2012.

Marysville – Five community-based organizations in the Nashwaak watershed have individually and collectively submitted a formal request to the Department of Environment and Local Government to classify the Nashwaak River and its tributaries.

On June 12th, the Nashwaak Watershed Association Inc, Taymouth Community Association, Stanley Agricultural Society, Stanley Area Action Group and the Penniac Anti-Shale Gas Group co-filed the official request to the New Brunswick Department of Environment and Local Government to classify the Nashwaak River and its tributaries. This request is a formal submission under Section 8.2 of Classification Regulation 2002-13 of the Clean Water Act 2002-56.

The community-based organizations joined forces to request official finalization of the classification program initiated in 2001 as a partnership with the Province and carried out by the Nashwaak Watershed Association. The watershed was given provisional classification status in 2002 that includes mostly pristine “A” class waters.

Our water temperatures are heating up! As summer gets into full swing, you will notice the water temperatures increasing. While this weather is great for people, it can cause extreme stress to a variety of animals, including species-at-risk Atlantic salmon. NWAI is working hard to remove barriers to vital cold water refugia that are essential to these animals for species survival. For more information on Salmon and thermal refuge, check out information from our collaborators at the Atlantic Salmon Federation . Much of our water quality monitoring work is funded, in part, by the Government of New Brunswick and NB Wildlife Trust Fund. www.asf.ca/news-and-magazine/in-the-field/cold-water-enhancement#atlanticsalmonconservation #climatechange #watershed #wolastoq #conservation #protection #ASF #ASCF ...
