We wanted to take this opportunity to draw your attention to the latest Nature Trust Newsletter and a great article highlighting the newly installed Rain Garden in Parksville: The Rain Garden in Parksville Is Now a Reality.

Thanks to the Nature Trust for bringing attention to the rain garden!

 

 

We wanted to send you to Dr. Gilles Wendling's YouTube feed where he has begun posting videos describing the Groundwater Mapping and Education Project on the Englishman River.  Below you'll find parts 1 through 4   of this series.  This is not the presentation that we posted previously, but the slides and Gilles' commentary of the first part of this study.  Enjoy!
