Where it all begins... Or ends rather

Port Maitland is where the Grand River enters Lake Erie. It is some 100 river km down stream of Brantford and about 280km from its headwaters near Wareham.

With a watershed area of 7,000 square kilometres, the Grand River flows from Dundalk to Lake Erie with numerous tributaries flowing into it, many of which we do stream restoration on, particularly in the zone between Cambridge and Brantford.

Why this section?

The particular section is the "Exceptional Waters Reach", which spans from Paris down toward Brantford. Managed by the Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA), this section is recognized for its high ecological health.

Thanks to our committed group of volunteers, we were able to get a lot of work done last night on Landon's Creek. Sadly, we did not achieve our goal of finishing the clearing, but we are getting really darn close. We had a few new folks on board last night who did a tremendous job. Thanks to all!!

Our next work night is Tuesday August 25th. We still need lots of people to help finish off Landons. Please sign up at our website. Details in Bio

Showed out to the upper crew, I unfortunately did not get photos.

Thank you to everyone who came out and enjoyed the hot evening in the cold creek - removing debris and opening up the overgrown brush really helps improve water flow and expose that gravel!
