I began this post in April 16th, 2025. It has sat in my files until a rainy day. Correction, until I ran out of actual critter photos on a snowy day. I've been struggling with meds and sleep, as many of you do. I finally had a sleep until 7:30, having wakened at 4 a.m. This is progress. That said, we are in the middle of a massive snowstorm. Bus cancellations for schools, the wind is blowing snow everywhere.
There aren't many critters out. Just the deer and birds madly scrambling at feeders. This post is a nice memory of summers when I was able to canoodle!
Jebbs Creek Wetland Embayment Project
We live near this creek. Back when I was able to canoe along the creek, I found such joy on this water: A canoe ride marathon: 9 km!
The project was a collaborative effort, with key partners including the Friends of the Tay River (FOTR), the Otty Lake Association (OLA), and the Ministry of Natural Resources.
A multi-year project, Rideau Vally Conservation Association (RVCA) staff have published a report (PDF). They are happy to say the have increased biodiversity, and report a successful pike population over the six years they've been working on this.

How wonderful that there are people to support nature, and all the flora and fauna that depend upon it for food, habitat, and safety.
