March 22nd marks the 32nd annual World Water Day.


Established in 1993 by the United Nations, World Water Day seeks to raise awareness about the importance of access to clean, safe water.


In 2025, the focus of World Water Day is the increasingly rapid melting of the world's glaciers.

As glaciers shrink and meltwater flows change, many areas of the world are subjected to increased risk of flooding or, ironically, drought. Coastal areas are under greater threat from sea level changes.


It is more important than ever to make glacier preservation a top priority in the fight to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Happy Belated World Frog Day to all our frog friends who make the Sackville River watershed their home.


Guess we should have hopped to it and posted this sooner!


Ribbiting frog facts!

  • As tadpoles, frogs consume algae helping to keep water clear and clean.

  • Adult frogs assist with pest control by eating insects and mollusks.

  • Frogs are food for predators like birds, snakes, and fish.

  • Frogs are strong bio-indicators. They are affected by water and land based pollution and thus highly susceptible to environmental change.

  • An abundance of frogs is a good sign of a thriving aquatic ecosystem.
