• Thank you to Atlantic Salmon Conservation Foundation for the 2017 grant approval of our 3 year project 'Perpetuation of Atlantic salmon in Northeastern PEI'.  SAB is currently in our third and final year of this project and we will strive to increase and enhance Atlantic salmon habitat in local tributaries and continue to bring public awareness through community outreach about Atlantic salmon in our area. 
• We have 27 individual watersheds to annually enhance and rehabilitate.  Harsh winters, consistent beaver activities, a largely forested management area among many other factors attribute to the need for annual stream restoration work.  Thanks so much to the PEI Wildlife Conservation Fund, The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Recreational Fisheries Conservation Partnership Program, Environment and Climate Change's Habitat Stewardship Program,  Atlantic Salmon Conservation Foundation and the Watershed Management Fund we are able to fully maintain and recover well over 200 kms of streams each year.  THANK YOU!

• Souris & Area Branch of the PEI Wildlife Federation in partnership with agricultural producers in our area and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada have been highlighted in a National Ground Water Association Publication: Groundwater Monitoring & Remediation. Lead researcher Yefang Jiang in cooperation with other researchers published an excellent article entitled: "Effects of Fall vs. Spring Plowing Forages on Nitrate Leaching Losses to Groundwater". SAB continues to seek methods to assist farmers to find ways to lessen the nitrate load in our waterways. Check out the article in this link.
