Friday May 15 to Monday May 18, 2020 is Free Family Fishing weekend on PEI. This is a great time for the whole family to get out and enjoy a beautiful long week...end but please keep COVID 19 safety in mind at all times. Recently, while out fishing with their family, Rylie Buckley enjoyed catching her first trout and Rhys Bucklely caught a impressive 21-incher! Nice catch!

As part of Phase One of the Renew PEI, Together plan, the 2020 Recreational Fishing season will begin on Friday, May 1st. All angling regulations as well as tho...se that pertain to COVID 19 will apply. Starting tomorrow afternoon, we will begin to deliver licences to vendor locations across the Island. The E Licence service is also available. We appreciate your support and understanding and we wish you good luck!

Here it is folks, the 2020 Winter Carnival Schedule. Please share so nobody misses these great events

This calendar shows the life cycle of the Monarch Butterfly, from its plant food source to adult stage.

As this year comes to an end we would like to take a moment to extend a huge thank you to the Prince Edward Island Wildlife Conservation Fund for awarding us $10,410 to carry out a number of activities to restore, maintain, create and enhance fish and wildlife habitats on the Trout River (Tyne Valley), the Mill Creek (Birch Hill), the Little Trout River (Richmond), and the Ellis River (Wellington) Watersheds. The WCF Fund is generated from the annual licence fees of anglers, hunters and trappers and from the sale of motor vehicle conservation plates. Thank you all for your contribution!

Some photo results of the restoration work that was achieved in 2015 to restore degraded in-stream habitat on the Mill Creek located in Birch Hill, PEI. The focus of work was to install brush mat structures that help remove sediment from the stream bottom and to uncover its original rock/gravel habitat. Fantastic work carried out by our 2015 work crew Jenna, Blake, Chelsea and Jake!

As our student staff field season comes to an end, we would like to wish Blake Arsenault all the best as you move onto the next stage in your life. You will be great! Your leadership, hard work and dedication over the past 5 years were an important part of our team and it’s been an absolute pleasure working with you. Besides providing you with the opportunity to connect with nature our hope is that your experiences with the Richmond Bay Watershed Group were good ones and that we have helped to broaden your skills that will aid you in your future endeavours. All the best and stay in touch.
