30 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday July 11, 2008 www.oakvillebeaver.com Volunteers needed for Check Your Watershed Day Conservation Halton is looking for 30 volunteers to participate in Check Your Watershed Day on Saturday, July 19 from 11:30 - 4 p.m. This is a unique opportunity for members of the community to participate in a one-day scientific study that examines the flow of small streams in our watershed. Volunteers will meet at the Conservation Halton administration office at 11:30 a.m. for training and a barbecue lunch. Crews will depart after lunch to sample small streams in the Bronte Creek Watershed and will have an opportunity upon their return to socialize and share experiences. Volunteers will receive the necessary equipment and training to be part of a threeperson, sampling team (including an experienced stream crew leader). Volunteers should wear long pants and long-sleeve shirts, those that have hip waders bring them. The data collected during Check Your Watershed Day will be incorporated into the development process of Conservation Halton's Fisheries Management Plan. Low flow discharge is an important factor in helping to better understand the overall health of our watershed. By collecting data in July we can better understand how different factors such as changes in landscape and climate may be affecting stream flow and watershed health. Check Your Watershed Day is a great chance for anyone interested in contributing to the conservation and protection of their local, natural areas, and to enjoy a day working with professionals in the environmental field. To register for this event, go to the CH website, www.conservationhalton.on.ca or email volunteers@hrca.on.ca The Bronte Creek watershed is located at the Western end of Lake Ontario and covers portions of Wellington County, the City of Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville and Milton, encompassing a total area of 304 square kilometres. It is extremely important from an environmental perspective, with large provincially significant headwater wetlands, forests, Niagara Escarpment features and major river valley systems. Bronte Creek is home to many sensitive fish species including resident trout and migratory salmon that rely on clean, cold water to survive. The water that comes from these forest and wetland headwater features is what keeps Bronte Creek healthy and beautiful.
