Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group

Welcome to the Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group website.

Our community group was formed to preserve and restore the health of the Hunter River Watershed in North Central Queens County, Prince Edward Island, Canada. We address ecological issues so that the watershed can continue to enhance and support the communities and the local farming, fishing and tourism industries.

Announcements

May News
This month we are back in our three schools, working with Wheatley River Improvement Group, to provide two educational events. The first event is Biodiversity Day, where we will be talking about what we can harvest from our forests other than wood. The Acadians, and the natives before them, made use of different trees for medicines, food, drinks, and nutrients, as well as choosing specific types of trees for making tools, sleigh shafts, shingles, canoes, and so on. We can also use our forests for recreation, and for harvesting other things such as mushrooms and fur-bearing mammals and, most importantly, for maintaining a healthy population of wildlife and improving our water supply. Our second event will be for 100 grade six students, a day of fun and education about fish, wildlife, and water, down at Rackhams Pond in Wheatley River. This will be the third year that we have held these events, they are the most rewarding part of the work of the watershed group.
 
In April we held our AGM, with an interesting talk from Christine, our assessment worker, about the work that we are doing collecting data on the state of our streams. At the AGM, we elected the directors of the Friends of North Shore Communities as directors-at-large of our watershed group. We already have North Rustico, New Glasgow, and Hunter River community councils, plus the Gulf Shore Community Corporation, as directors. We look forward to working more closely with all five groups in the coming year.

AGM, April 18th
We would like to invite you to a presentation, in the North Rustico Lions Club, on Wednesday April 18th at 7pm. There will be an interesting slide-show about the assessment work that we have been doing throughout the watershed, with photographs and maps showing the main problem areas. We will also present a report on last year's achievements, and I think we can be justly proud of not only how much we got done, but also how we are leading the way for other groups in so many areas. The business section of the meeting will consist of a brief AGM and, although we are not seeking new board members, anyone interested in joining our board will be able to put themselves forward. There will be coffee and cookies, so come out and learn about your local environmental group and what we have been up to.
 
This is the time of year to spot problems in our streams. So if you know of an area where the springs are blocked, where their is excessive run-off, or any other problem, please give us a call on 964-2272. If you have stream or river frontage and would like trees planting, give us a call. We have a work plan for 2012 but we are always able to fit in requests for help. Remember that there are rules about what can and can't be done within 15 metres of any water or marsh, if you'd like clarification then give us a call. In many cases, our group has a permit to do restoration work and we'd be glad to help out.

Our meeting about the future of North Rustico Lighthouse was very productive. With 33 people attending, we received the support of the community to go forward with our plans. We received a great deal of feedback, and will be using that to develop a plan, which we will present at a second meeting in June.

The Future of North Rustico Lighthouse
Island lighthouses have been declared surplus to requirements, and now it is up to local groups to develop plans to save them. A number of local people have formed a group to make sure that our lighthouse is saved, given heritage designation, and is given a new use that safeguards its future permanently. There will be a public meeting to discuss the future of North Rustico Lighthouse on Tuesday April 3rd at 7:30pm in North Rustico Lions Club.
 
This group includes representatives of the Friends of the North Shore Communities, the Conseil acadien de Rustico, the Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group and a number of other community groups and individuals. The group has already sent in the necessary petition, containing 103 signatures, to start the process of transferring the lighthouse to the community. The purpose of the public meeting on the 27th is to propose a plan for taking this process forward, and then ask for feedback which will be used to refine the plan. It is expected that individuals will be nominated to perform specific tasks in further developing the plan for securing the future of the lighthouse.
 
Anyone with ideas, historical information, resources, or simply an interest in the continued existence of the lighthouse, is encouraged to come to the meeting and share their knowledge.
 
Hopefully, over the course of the next year, we can move forward and permanently secure the lighthouse for future generations.
 
For more information, please call David Gladstone on 620-1312, visit www.northrusticolighthouse.ca or e-mail info@northrusticolighthouse.ca.

December News

This month we had four students from the UPEI Watershed Ecology course help us out by doing stream health and climate-change assessments on two of our streams. This course has both UPEI and Holland College students working together on projects in Island watersheds, giving them much needed practical experience while also helping us by providing us with quality data. We will be developing this relationship with UPEI in future years.
 
We are planning our next Winter Woodlot Tour in partnership with Wheatley River Improvement Group. After having over 600 people come to our last one, we are planning for 1000! So mark January 28th in your diary. We are working with the PEI Model Forest Network Partnership to deliver the event again this year, and they have a forest photography contest underway right now, with prizes - so visit www.peiforests.ca for all the details and send them your best forest photographs.
 
On November 10th, there was a film and discussion in Wheatley River Hall, Who will grow our food? Island farmers’ voices on food security. We had a discussion about food security on PEI from the farmers' perspective, and about the importance of buying local. Our summer supervisor, Ashleigh, helped to produce the film. We will let you know through this column as to when it is next going to be shown.

November News

Four local watershed groups worked together to deliver the Adopt A River program in Gulf Shore School last month. Wheatley River, Trout River, Bedeque Bay and Hunter-Clyde groups, with help from two UPEI biology students, spent two days teaching the grade 7 and 8 classes how to assess the health of a stream. They counted eight different types of bugs living under the rocks in the stream, did chemistry tests on the water and learned about how all these factors indicate the health of the stream - and what we can do to improve it. Many thanks to Beth Peters and Maria Lavoie for working with us to deliver this important program.

There is an event in Wheatley River Community Hall on the 10th, at 6:30, Who will grow our food? Island farmers’ voices on food security. It's a pot-luck supper, a film and a discussion about food security on PEI from the farmers perspective. One of our summer students has been working on this and she asked me to bring it to your attention. More details at http://peifoodsecurity.wordpress.com/.

We are planning our next Winter Woodlot Tour in partnership with Wheatley River Improvement Group. After having over 600 people come to our last one, we are planning for 1000! So mark January 28th in your diary, it will be in Hazel Grove. We are working with the PEI Model Forest Network Partnership to deliver the event again this year, and they have a forest photography contest underway right now, with prizes - so visit http://www.peiforests.ca/ for all the details and send them your best forest photographs.

There are a number of groups opposing oil drilling in the Gulf of St Lawrence. The science says that any oil spill would circulate around the Gulf and contaminate all five Gulf provinces, devastating the fisheries, and would take a long time to flush away. Seismic testing has already gone ahead, disrupting aquatic life in the Gulf. For more information see http://www.coalitionsaintlaurent.ca/.

October News
Our educational program has taken a leap forward this year. We are starting a new initiative in Gulf Shore School which will be run in two classes. Called 'Adopt a River', we will have 46 students learning how to monitor the health of our rivers. This involves catching and identifying bottom-dwelling larvae, stream assessment, various water tests such as nitrates and oxygen, working to improve the stream habitat, making presentations on their findings and putting the results on a national website. We are running this program jointly with Wheatley River Improvement Group and with the help of Bedeque Bay Environmental Management Association. Our other educational initiative involves working with UPEI and Holland College students by giving talks about our restoration and monitoring work, developing projects in our watersheds so that the students get practical experience while helping us out, and by offering our streams as sites for various practical demonstrations. In turn, a number of UPEI students are helping us to deliver our school programs. Developing opportunities for our students to gain these practical skills while exposing them to the realities of our fragile ecosystem are important steps in the development of our two local watershed groups.
 
The recent devastating fish kills in western Prince Edward Island have proven to be some of the worst in Island history. The PEI Watershed Alliance describes events such as these as something that should be of the past. Fish kills of this magnitude in any watershed and especially watersheds with extremely healthy fish stocks are intolerable. Alliance chairperson, Fred Cheverie notes "While the exact cause of the recent fish kills remains unknown, pesticide runoff from local fields is suspected. The streams involved in the fish kills offered optimal temperatures for fish habitat and were teeming with aquatic life which suddenly disappeared as a result of a combination of torrential rain and agricultural operations with little safe guarding against soil erosion. Recent scientific research indicates that we will be experiencing more frequent severe weather events; therefore, it is now time for us as stewards of our land and streams to adapt our practices to the changing climate. We simply cannot keep blaming the weather for devastating events like this."
 
A few upcoming events:

Go! Hunter River walk on Monday
Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group will be leading a Go! PEI walk on Thanksgiving Monday at 3pm. We'll be walking along the trail to look at some of the work the group has been doing this summer, to point out some of the problems that our streams have, and to discuss what the watershed group is doing about them. Join us at the gazebo on the trail in Hunter River either to walk off the turkey or, if you're having a Monday evening feast, to build up your appetite!

Woodlot Owners meeting on Tuesday
There are thousands of woodlot owners on PEI but no organization to bring them all together. This is an opportunity for you to get together with fellow land owners to discuss some of the issues facing the Island's forestry sectors and the benefits of creating a PEI Woodlot Owners Organization.
The following meetings are part of a series of information and feedback sessions that have been conducted across the island.
- Hunter River Lions Club on Tuesday, October 11th, 7:00 PM.

September News
On August 12th we were visited by the students of a UPEI course on Applied Climate Change. Phil spoke for an hour about how the mix of tree species will change as the climate changes. It's not just about warmer temperatures. There are also going to be more freeze/thaw cycles in the winter, more rain, different tree pests, and higher CO2 levels - all of which will affect the trees that will be able to survive over the next 100 years. And because trees can live for 100 years, this is the time to start planning for the coming changes. These changes will be big, for example our common White Spruce will probably be almost gone within 60 years, while our Provincial tree, the Red Oak, will thrive. For more details, see here.
 
The PEI Watershed Alliance has sent a letter to Environment Canada, expressing concern that reducing their staff numbers might adversely affect the quality of their forecasting, which will impact our farmers' ability to predict the best times for plowing and spraying, leading to a higher chance of run-off into the streams. The Alliance is also supporting a showing of the move Gasland, which voices deep concerns about fracking, or shale-gas extraction, a process that the Alliance is strongly opposed to.
 
Our summer work is coming to a close. Between HCWG and Wheatley River Improvement Group we employed nine people over the summer to work in our watersheds and we have achieved a huge amount while at the same time giving all those involved a great environmental education. So a big thank-you to all our students for making this such a rewarding experience for all of us, and a huge thank-you to all our volunteers and community partners without whom we would not be where we are today.

Half-way through our summer of work
We have a great work-crew this summer; four students who are working hard to improve our environment while at the same time receiving an education themselves. By re-using some of the massive timbers from the old Darnley Bridge, we constructed a new stream crossing where previously ATVs and dirt-bikes were driving through the stream, this is the same stream where we removed a beaver dam and some old cars last year. Tree planting continues to be a key part of our summer work and we are pleased to have had so many residents contact us with tree planting sites and to suggest streams that we can work on improving.

PEI Watershed Alliance
This year, the PEI Watershed Alliance has an employee, Shawn Hill, who is seconded from his government job for a year. The PEIWA has greatly improved communication between watershed groups across the province which has led to more cooperation and resource sharing. The PEIWA also makes watershed issues more visible and allows watershed groups to get involved in larger projects, coordinate initiatives, and take positions on issues such as fracking. The PEIWA is applying for charitable status, which will open up new sources of funding for watershed groups.

Help us keep watch for anoxic events
At this time of year, we experience anoxic events. This is when the sea-lettuce, which has grown quickly due to excess nutrients in the river, suddenly dies. The resulting light green/white colour of the water and the rotten egg smell point to an anoxic event, and the low level of oxygen in the water is often unable to support fish. Please do call or e-mail us if you see this in your river, or contact WRIG if you live near the Wheatley River, as each event is recorded and can result in the government paying more attention to our rivers as a result.

Environmental Fun Day a great success
Our Environmental Fun Day at Campbells Pond was held on June 3rd. We entertained 110 students from our three schools, mostly grade six, for the day. We had a live hawk, electrofishing, critter dipping, forestry talks, water chemistry, fly tying and fish identification. Many thanks to Wheatley River Improvement Group for sharing the organization, and huge thanks to the presenters who were from the PEI Model Forest Network Partnership; Island Nature Trust; PEI Department of Forests, Fish and Wildlife; Atlantic Salmon Federation; BBEMA and The Sierra Club. Thanks to Gerry Blacquiere for tying flies and James Stride of Island Falconry Services for flying his beautiful young falcon.

Schools Educational program for 2011
In conjunction with Wheatley River Improvement Group, we have expanded our education program this year. We have already delivered the 'Discover your River' program to grade two in Central Queens, Gulf Shore and Saint Augustin schools. On May 20th, we will be giving a one hour presentation about biodiversity and giving birch seedlings to all the students in our three schools. On June 3rd, our Environmental Fun Day will see over 100 grade 6 (and some 5s and 4s) visit Campbell's Pond for a day of fish, forest and wildlife related activities. Later in the year, we will be delivering the 'Adopt a River' program to grade 8 at Gulf Shore. More info to follow!

March News
There were 33 people at North Rustico Lions Club on March 15th for our Climate Change Forum, thanks to all those who helped to make it such a success. The presentations and other information can be found here. The forum gave us all a lot to think about, in terms of how we might start planning for the coming challenges. All agreed that our watershed groups are well placed to coordinate and lead this process. There is a lot more to this than just shoreline erosion and tidal surges, although of course this is a major concern on the North Shore.
 
Thanks to those who attended our AGM, which followed the Climate Change Forum. Minutes of the meeting can be found here.
 
Your watershed group is looking for a supervisor for the summer work-crew, and there are vacancies for one or two more workers. The supervisor position would be ideal for a biology or conservation student who is returning to university or college in September. See here for more information.
 
Atlantic Forestry magazine printed a two-page article about our Winter Woodlot Tour and Workshop, complete with a photo of our president. You can see the article here. We are still getting feedback about how many people enjoyed that event, definitely something we will do again next year. Information about maple syrup tapping and other aspects of the woodlot tour can be found here.

Climate Change forum and AGM
Are you interested in Climate Change and its effect on our region?  It's much more than just coastal erosion, it will affect us all, and in ways that we haven't even thought of yet.

Hunter-Clyde and Wheatley River Watershed Groups are holding an evening forum on climate change predictions and adaptations. We feel that it's time to start talking seriously about climate change in our area, and how we can plan ahead. In North Rustico Lions Club, Tuesday March 15th at 7pm, we will hear from some experts in climate change and then have an open discussion on how we can plan ahead to adapt our farming, forestry, development patterns and lifestyles to take account of these coming challenges.

The meeting will conclude with a short business meeting and AGM of the Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group. Coffee and cookies will be provided. Please come along, and feel free to forward this invitation to other individuals or groups.

Winter Woodlot Tour a huge success!
We had over 600 people to our Winter Woodlot Tour and Workshop. Three horses were working all morning, and the maple syrup  demonstration and winter wildlife talks were very popular. Many people enjoyed the snowshoe trail, some many times over. It was great to see all ages there, and we're certain that many people went away with an improved knowledge of what they can get out of and give back to their small woodlots. Many thanks to the PEI Model Forest Network Partnership, the Wheatley River Improvement Group, the provincial employees who put on excellent wildlife, chainsaw maintenance and forest maintenance demonstrations and to all those who helped this event happen. We are already talking about where to have it next winter. There are some photos and a video on our Photos page.

Climate Change
The recent storm reminded us of the potential effect of Climate Change on the North Shore over the coming decades. Our watershed group, along with others along the North Shore, is looking to become involved in a long-term project to study the problem and the possible adaptations that will be required, in conjunction with the Institute of Island Studies. The project will look at the potential effects of climate change on all aspects of natural and human activity, as this is currently unknown. Hopefully the funding will materialize and we can start this important work in the summer.

Happy New Year, and thanks to all our members and other supporters for helping us achieve so much in 2010.

More news...

The Hunter-Clyde Watershed Group (HCWG) is a community run group that is focused on the well-being of the Hunter or Clyde River in the New Glasgow, Rustico and Hunter River area. Our goals are to improve the health of the watershed’s ecosystem, encourage community involvement and support the local economy. Our group started in 2000. Currently we are funded through local memberships and from private, provincial and federal funding programs.

Students and volunteers perform fieldwork during the summer months. Much of the work consists of tree planting, building brush mats, clearing debris, surface-water testing and remedial work on beaver dams and other obstructions. Other projects are based on a site assessment, such as rock pools for fishways and enhancing spawning sites. We also attend public events to educate the public, build bat and swallow boxes and undertake other tasks as the needs arise.

Our educational work includes maintaining a comprehensive website, presentations to schools and other community groups, sitting on various committees and holding meetings in the community. Our close liaison with farmers, fishers, tourist operators and landowners enables us to respond to and address their concerns. Our employment of around four local students each year helps to produce engaged young environmentalists who become the stewards of the future.

The continual development and refinement of a Stewardship Plan is crucial to the success of our group. This year a Fish Habitat Management Plan was started, and a Beaver Management Plan is underway. These will soon become part of our Stewardship Plan.

In 2009 we started a program of large sediment trap construction and we have begun to investigate the possible solutions to the issues facing the two big ponds in our watershed. Our plans and our community involvement are key to the success of these larger projects.

If you would like to get involved, contact someone on our who's who page.  We'd love to have you as a member, membership information is below the map.
