It’s becoming harder and harder to avoid products with plastic. We store our kids’ lunches in it, wrap our leftovers with it and even brush our teeth with it. Discover your plastic footprint!

Our Canada’s Coolest School Trip winning class are packed and ready for their exciting trip to Jasper National Park. From June 6 to 10, they will canoe on Lake Edith, explore the historic Palisades and even raft down the Athabasca river! Enjoy, kids!

Help the Pollinators

We depend on pollinators every day for the production of everything from apples to squash, to even chocolate. Unfortunately, many of our pollinators are under threat. By planting one of CWF’s Pollinator Kits you will be helping these amazing creatures do their most important work, and a percentage of the proceeds will go directly to help conserve wildlife in Canada. Available at a Home Depot near you!

YOUR GARDEN

Get Your Garden CWF-certified

We’ll be welcoming spring with open arms this year. For many, this means digging into gardens and sprucing up yards. Take the plunge and get your garden CWF-certified to join a community of Canadians that are helping local and migratory wildlife, including species-at-risk, right in their own backyards.

There’s nothing like relaxing on the dock at the cottage, is there? Give back to your lake by taking care of it ditching your lawn, keeping tabs on invasive species, creating healthy shoreline buffers, and so much more. We can show you how! Learn more about how to love your lake here.

We’re continuing our American eel research this June to determine how juvenile eels migrate upstream and around barriers, such as hydro stations and dams in the Ottawa River. Last year we tagged 40 individuals and released them below Chaudiere Falls and above Carillon dam. This year we get the chance to see where the eels move, how they bypass these barriers and where we can install structures to help them move upstream!

Our very own James Page, Species at Risk and Biodiversity Program Officer and Carolyn Callaghan, Senior Conservation Biologist of Terrestrial Wildlife at CWF, will be continuing their cryptic species research this June. They’ll be looking for a variety of sites to find species like Pale-bellied Frost Lichen, Chorus Frogs, Blanding’s Turtle and more.
