Eurasian Water Milfoil Removal Workshop September 2026One of our focuses was to help people learn to identify EWM from other species.We collected real plants to show, and made a new Milfoil Identification Guide, which you can find on our website (link in bio).EWM was removed by hand by a scuba diver - thank you Skylar! We had planned to use a weight and float system to make plots for removal, but the water was too muddy to see them!The New Brunswick Invasive Species Council did a demonstration with a mobile Boat Decontamination Station. The unit can collect and heat up water on-site, and use a pressurized spray to rid boats of clingy critters. Thank you to Nate, NBISC, and DFO for the demonstration! It is extremely important to keep equipment clean to avoid spreading invasive species.The EWM was collected in burlap bags donated to us by Miltown Roasters.After the event, the sediment was rinsed out and non-target species were removed.The EWM was dried out in the sun over several days, and weighed.In all, we removed about 1.6 pounds of Eurasian Water Milfoil (dry).The event was great, and really highlighted the importance of preventing invasive species from spreading in the first place. Clearing even just a small area is very resource intensive.Further thanks to Wildlife Habitat Canada for funding this endeavor, and to the duck hunting community for making their work possible; to Dieter and Mary for their help engineering the plan; to the Fredericton Yacht Club for their support; to CBC News New Brunswick for allowing us to spread the word about EWM on Information Morning; and to Willow for assisting with the EWM cleaning and weighing process.#eurasianwatermilfoil #InvasiveSpecies #newbrunswick #douglasharbournb #nbisc #nbinvasives #WildlifeHabitatCanada #nature #environment ...

Water Quality Monitoring for the year has concluded!We have successfully collected field readings and analyzed samples from every station, each month from June to September.We will work towards publishing a report in the coming months.Sometimes the source of unusual readings is apparent; this month, the conductivity and dissolved solids at the Jemseg River site were very high. It is likely that something had been washed off of the bridge above!These are things we will have to consider when putting the report together.Big thanks to Mary, who assisted with the full survey day (and photography!), and Dieter, who again volunteered his time and boat for the Grand Point station.While it was my (Sam’s) first time leading a survey day since taking on the role of Project Coordinator, everything went smoothly. I appreciate all of the support, and hope for another successful season next year :)Stay tuned and become a member (link in bio) for upcoming workshops and further updates!#conservation #freshwater #newbrunswick #fishNB #jemsegNB #mintoNB #chipmanNB #GrandLakeNB #ArcadiaNB #nature ...
