Quadra Island Elementary Wetland Restoration
Last week, members of our Watershed Team’s Wetland Education Program (WEP) visited our 2022 wetland restoration project at the Quadra Island Elementary School for maintenance and monitoring! 🌿
This project was done in partnership with School District 72, the We Wai Kai First Nation, and members of the Quadra Island Climate Action Network.
The goal of this project was to restore a historic wetland, provide habitat for native plants and animals, and create an outdoor classroom for students.
Watch to see some of our findings from this site visit!

    Can anyone answer, when wasn't there climate change ? Right there's always been climate change, a big reason you're here. Geologist took ice borings, we are in a warm cycle, temp is going to rise, they've known this for 70 years, and the know carbon is of no matter

    Hi Tom! I was fascinated by your recent presentation for the Save the Frogs! Summit. I am a Save The Frogs member and live in a town in Portugal, and there is an area right by where I live that is wetland that needs restoration because the water drains away far too quickly for any amphibians to use it here for breeding, although they do use some temporary pools close by and near a roadside. The Iberian Spadefoot Toad with Vulnerable conservation status lives in this area I know because I rescued one from one of my cats that dug it up in the garden the other year.

    How could you tell they were western toads? I’m trying to learn the difference between them and bullfrog tadpoles

    • @bcwfbogblog
      @bcwfbogblog 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your question Christina! Two of the distinguishing attributes for those two species are the colour and size. Western toad tadpoles are jet black and small, with body length less than 25 mm long. American bullfrog tadpoles are a green-brown colour often with yellow undersides and spots. They're also much larger, with body lengths of 60mm (plus the tail!). For more information on how to identify tadpoles, the Province of BC recently launched a new amphibian and reptile website full of identification keys and resources that can help you in learning the differences: bcreptilesandamphibians.trubox.ca/identification-keys-amphibians/

    An interesting and informative video, although I admit I would not have seen it but for the vagaries of the TH-cam algorithm. Commendable work in environmental stewardship. Having said that, what is prompting me to leave a comment is the pleasant surprise of recognising the first landowner interviewed, Penny Ohanjanian, as an old friend I lost touch with long ago after the years at LSS. It's good to see you again, albeit in a video, and I'm pleased to see you looking well and doing this good work. Mike.

    Histisol in a fen?

    • @bcwfbogblog
      @bcwfbogblog 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there, I don't know for certain what types of wetlands would create histisol soils! These soils are dominantly organic with little decomposition, which means it is likely formed from a fen or bog, which are both a type peat-based wetland (peatlands).
