    Help discover how water levels are changing in Cranberry Marsh

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [01 November 2024] – The Town of Collingwood and Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) have initiated a water level study in Cranberry Marsh and the community is invited to participate.

    NVCA has placed a community monitoring station at the lookout along the Cranberry Marsh boardwalk. Residents can help the study by submitting water level observations and photographs taken at the community monitoring station to the NVCA.

    To submit observations, residents are invited to record the water level on the ruler at the station along with the date and time. Next, take a photo of the ruler showing the water level and text all this information, including the photo, to 705-717-8694. More detailed instructions can be viewed on the signage onsite.

    “The community monitoring station was installed in August, and we will be collecting data for one year,” said Ian Ockenden, Manager of Watershed Science at NVCA. “This year-long project will tell us what is happening in the wetland. Wetland water levels fluctuate naturally, and we need to determine if these water levels are changing beyond what would be expected in a natural system.”

    To learn more about how water levels fluctuate in wetlands, visit NVCA’s website at nvca.on.ca.

    Findings from the Cranberry Marsh study will be reported back to Collingwood Council following the year-long study.

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
