๐ฟ A peaceful paddle and a reminder of why protecting our waters matters.
Saturdayโs paddle on Paulins Kill Lake started with calm waters, sunshine and beauty of the watershed. From the Plotts/Parsons Road launch site in the Wildlife Management Area, the journey south brought us through a stunning display of American Lotus blooms, a native plant that provides important habitat and food for wildlife, including waterfowl. Along the way, we spotted ducks, a Great Blue Heron soaring overhead, and enjoyed the quiet connection that comes from spending time on a healthy, thriving waterway.
These moments highlight why watershed protection is at the heart of our work. Healthy waterways donโt just support native plants and wildlife, they create opportunities for our communities to explore, recreate, and build a deeper connection with the natural world. Through conservation, education, and stewardship, we work to protect the lands and waters that sustain us. Ensuring places like the Paulins Kill remain vibrant for generations to come.
