By FLORENCE RIEHL Georgetown Seniors Centre Pollinators, like bees, butterfl ies, some birds and others, are an essential part of a healthy ecosystem. Credit Valley Conser- vation (CVC) invites local landowners to learn more about the importance of pol- linators and the environmental threats they face at a free workshop on Saturday July 20 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Terra Cotta Conservation Area's Watershed Learning Centre, 14452 Winston Churchill Blvd., Halton Hills. "The worrying truth is that pollinator species are declining," said Mike Pud- dister, CVC Director of Res- toration and Stewardship. "This can have lasting impacts to ecosys- tem health and local agriculture. We can tackle the problem if we work coopera- tively." Participants will learn about the cur- rent status of some key pollinators and how to create pollinator-friendly areas in their gardens or on their farms to provide a food source for native bees. Informa- tion will also be available on constructing bee nests and limiting the use of in- secticides that can cause wide-spread damage to pol- linator populations. Insec- ticides are intended to kill unwanted insects but they often kill benefi cial insects like bees. Space at the workshop is limited. Those interested are asked to register by Monday July 15 at www.creditvalleyca.ca/events or by phone at 1-800-668-5557 ext 430. Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) invites you to Theatre in the Park. Bring the family and a blanket to enjoy "Stellaluna" performed by To Be Determined Theatre Co. at Terra Cotta Conservation Area, July 14 & 21, 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. For more details go to www. theifp.ca/whats-on Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) and Trout Unlimited invite the public to get their feet wet and learn more about the Credit River watershed. Volunteers are needed to monitor local streams as part of Check Your Watershed Day on Satur- day, July 20. Check Your Watershed Day is an annu- al event held in Ontario since 2006. The event is an opportunity for students and people interested in the environment to gain hands-on experience and participate in important research. Volunteers collect temperature data from small streams at road crossings and photograph each cul- vert. The information collected builds a better understanding of the watershed and helps CVC plan stewardship activi- ties to manage it. "Streams are the lifeblood of our coun- tryside," said Mike Puddister, CVC Di- rector of Restoration and Stewardship. "Monitoring their health is vital to the work we do to protect and enhance the environment. It's also an opportunity to view nature from a different perspective." Volunteers should meet at Terra Cot- ta Conservation Area at noon to receive training and pick up equipment. Vol- unteers will be organized into Stream Teams of two to four people to collect data and must have good mobility. Par- ticipants will be asked to wear rubber boots or hip waders. Some access points to stream monitoring sites may be steep or unstable. Stream Teams will go to as- signed sites in Orangeville, Caledon, Erin and Halton Hills. The event wraps up around 4 p.m. Participants must be 18 or older, un- less accompanied by a parent. Each vol- unteer group will require a car to access their assigned sites, a digital camera, a cell phone and the ability to forward pho- tos to CVC. GPS units are helpful. Please register online at http://www.creditvalley- ca.ca/event/check-your-watershed-day-2/ before July 17. Space is limited.
