Freshwater Stewardship Community
Watersheds Canada’s online freshwater stewardship community is connecting waterfront communities and individuals through free webinars, education resources, and networking opportunities. All resources created are free to use!
E-library
Our E-library has been designed to support anyone who cares about the health of Canada’s freshwater environments. Waterfront property owners and lake associations will find practical guides to help them carry out restoration projects on their own properties or within their communities. Educators and families can explore a wide variety of hands-on learning materials, including engaging activity books and colouring pages that strive to make freshwater and habitat topics fun and accessible for all ages. Community leaders can utilize resources to inspire local action and possible community science initiatives. Meanwhile, researchers can access technical handouts and science-driven reports to support their professional studies.
