Curves in rivers, also known as meanders, play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy and dynamic ecosystem. A healthy river has meanders that migrate downstream slowly moving the bends within its floodplain, which is one reason NVCA monitors the entire floodplain. Here are some reasons why meanders are beneficial as well as beautiful: Erosion Control: Curves naturally slow down the flow of water, reducing the speed at which it moves downstream. This helps slow the rate of erosion, protecting riverbanks and surrounding habitats. Sediment Distribution: As water slows in the curves, it allows sediments to settle. This creates fertile areas along the banks which support diverse plant and animal life. Flood Mitigation: Meanders increase the length of a river, spreading out the water flow and reducing the risk of flooding. This also helps in recharging groundwater levels as water seeps into the ground more effectively. Give Fish a Place to Rest and Grow: Meanders create slow moving pockets in otherwise fast-moving stretches, which provide resting spots for migrating fish. These slow-moving sections also provide nursery habitat for young fish because they require less energy for the fish to swim without being taken by the current. Water Quality Improvement: The slowing of water flow in meanders helps filter pollutants and sediments, leading to cleaner water downstream. This natural purification process benefits both wildlife and human communities. These natural benefits make river curves an essential feature in promoting the overall health and sustainability of river ecosystems. Since 1962, Nature Conservancy of Canada/Conservation de la nature Canada and NVCA have worked in partnership to protect over 5,500 hectares (about two-thirds) of this unique habitat. This year, we worked together to put curves back Willow Creek in Minesing Wetlands. Check out what the process was like through their blog post here: https://lnkd.in/g6wuK6yB

🐢 What secrets do Montreal’s outer islands hold? Find out in the season finale of “On the Frontline” with Nature Conservancy of Canada/Conservation de la nature Canada! In this episode, NCC welcomes us into the hidden world of turtles that inhabit Montreal’s outer islands. The discussion covers the islands’ unique biodiversity, the challenges turtles face during land travel — particularly in June when females seek nesting sites, and the effort to mobilize local residents around NCC’s initiative to protect this threatened species. Personal insights from team members and local residents highlight the collaborative efforts within NCC, reinforcing the collective commitment to preserving these cherished reptiles in their natural habitat. Tune in next Friday to watch the full episode on our YouTube channel! 📺

We are pleased to collaborate with Environment and Climate Change Canada and other conservation partners to safeguard important wetland habitats for many species, including the threatened western chorus frog! Conservation is a team sport and by working together we all are making a positive difference for nature. 💚
Collaboration is key to the protection of #SpeciesAtRisk and their habitats, and we help with projects all across the country. In Quebec, through an investment of $8.2 million, we are supporting Nature-Action Québec, Conservation de la nature Canada and Canards Illimités - Québec with their activities to protect and restore the critical habitat of the #WesternChorusFrog in the #Montérégie and #Outaouais regions.
