The trail upkeep got away from me this summer everyone! Apologies! It's mostly trimmed back and will be finished tomorrow so you can have fun enjoying the birds!

I saw a close up of our resident Belted Kingfisher close to the dock, and many MANY baby Song and Swamp sparrows everywhere!

Come see us on Thursday at our table for a fun activity, and all of the other wonderful parts of Tantramar's Wetland Day celebration!

🧐Zebra mussels look very different from New Brunswick’s 10 native freshwater mussel species... and knowing how to tell the difference matters.

Zebra mussels

▪ Small (usually under 5 cm)

▪ Sharp, triangular shell

▪ Bold black-and-white stripes 🦓

▪ Flat bottom – they can stick tightly to rocks, pipes, and boats

Native New Brunswick mussels

▪ Larger and thicker shells

▪ Smooth, rounded, or oval shapes

▪ Solid colours like brown, green, or black

▪ Curved shells that sit loosely or submerged on river or lake bottoms

🤷Why does this matter?

Zebra mussels are invasive and can harm native mussels by attaching to their shells and competing for food.

One of TWC's most dedicated student volunteers is doing a Civics 10 project collecting sleeping bags and blankets for people experiencing homelessness.

If you have either of these that you aren't using anymore you can drop them off at TWC next week!
