Trout Unlimited Canada (TUC) organized a workday on the Tay River; an important tributary of the Clearwater River, on Saturday, June 8 as a riparian restoration project.
TUC biologists as well as 12 other volunteers from Red Deer and Calgary came together to plant live willow stakes and brush layers to help stabilize the river bank and improve habitat for native fish species. This work as well as other work projects scheduled for the Tay River are designed to not only improve the river’s riparian health but also improve important fish habitat for Bull Trout, Plains Suckers and other native and naturalized fish species.
It is important to acknowledge the work that is being done on our streams and rivers to ensure healthy fish habitat. It takes planning as well as people to come out and volunteer their time to make these workdays successful. Please check out this blog as well as TUC’s website for future field projects.
