Tomorrow is the first day of fall in the Northern Tomorrow is the first day of fall in the Northern Hemisphere. Weather is cooling, and you might wonder about what our water dwelling species are doing. Nature Canada describes Brumation: the hibernation-like state that cold-blooded animals (reptiles and amphibians) enter during very cold weather. It is triggered by the onset of colder temperatures and shorter daylight hours and can last for months. Animals in brumation typically wake up to drink water and might shift before returning to sleep. Blanding’s Turtles and Northern Leopard Frogs are brumating species. The turtles remain underwater until the beginning of Spring, and the frogs spend their winters under the ice of rivers, creeks or ponds. A high concentration of glucose in the vital organs of Leopard Frogs prevents freezing. Once the weather warms and the ice melts, the frog will thaw and its heart and lungs resume normal activities. . . . . #brumation #firstdayoffall #firstdayofautumn #nature #canada #frog #turtle #water #wetlands #lake #river #waterleaders #waterkeepers

We're introducing our 2023-2024 Youth Advisory Boa We're introducing our 2023-2024 Youth Advisory Board! Meet Alara Cohen: "I am a student of geoscience and sustainability at the University of the Fraser Valley in BC, Canada. I realized a couple of years ago that I wanted to make a positive mark on the world and help make it a brighter place for the next generation. Since then, every day feels like it has purpose, and life has never been better! I enjoy fitness, video games, dungeons and dragons, and hosting events like tree planting and clothing repair fairs (they help me work on my hopeless style). I am very happy to be working with Waterlution on the Youth Advisory Board, meeting like minded people is invigorating, and I can't wait to see what we can make happen!" Welcome, Alara!
