30 years of getting kids outdoors. Another incredible Trout-A-Rama in the books. Thank you Halifax - you showed up! 🎣

None of this happens without our amazing volunteers. Thank you to everyone who gave their Saturday morning to teach, guide, and cheer on the next generation of anglers.
Special thanks to our generous sponsors - without their support, this free day out for families simply would not be possible.

This Bald Eagle was found not far from Hope for Wildlife, tangled in a wire. The landowner was able to untangle the bird from the wire, but the Eagle still couldn't fly. A couple of our amazing dispatch volunteers, helped the landowner catch the Eagle. After a couple weeks stretching his wings in our flight cage, and after a thorough medical exam - we were able to release him back to the wild.

On Wednesday the CWRC along with AVC Wildlife Service and Maritime Electric in Borden, Prince Edward Island worked together to safely remove an eaglet from its nest. The nest was built on a high voltage transmission tower and was causing problems with the electrical grid on the island. The nest was also in danger of catching fire putting the birds and the tower at risk.
Maritime Electric de-energized the power lines so we could safely work around them Dr. Dave McRurer, Wildlife Health Specialist with Parks Canada and Adjunct Professor with the Atlantic Veterinary College, was hoisted the 25m (80 feet) to the nest in a boom truck. The Eaglet was carefully removed from the nest and transported to AVC Wildlife Service in Charlottetown where it will spend he next few days being assessed.
Once it is give a good bill of health it will be transferred to CWRC who will raise it until it is ready to be returned to the wild. Great team work all round to make the best outcome in a dangerous situation.

You may have seen this photo circulating Facebook recently - this bee was found on the ground with it's tongue out, and with pollen on it's legs. This suggests that the flower the bee was pollinating is the cause of it's death.

When people use herbicides and pesticides on dandelions and other wild flowers (some people call them weeds), it does not only kill the plant. It can kill the bees that feed on the flowers and plants.
Bees and other pollinating insects play an essential role in ecosystems. A third of all our food depends on their pollination.

It is estimated that the economic value of bees’ pollination work is more than $464 billion annually, worldwide. The environmental and economic value of bees is irrefutable.

Before spraying this year, please consider letting the dandelions grow.
