SUMMARY:Amphibian Fencing Installation
DESCRIPTION:Outdoor – Carry\, Walk\, Hammer\, Staple \nIn late February/early March the amphibians are traveling back to their important breeding wetland in Ryder Lake. There is a crossing structure called the “Toad Tunnel”\, that runs under Elk View Road. The fencing you will install helps guide these amphibians to the crossing structure so they can safely pass under the road. \nWe’re looking for energetic volunteers to help us install 75m – 250m of silt fencing to direct toads making their annual mass migration.\nThis will involve installing fencing along Elk View Rd. by hammering wooden and metal stakes into the ground and using a staple gun to secure the fence. \n\nVolunteer requirements: \n\n• Capable of lifting up to 15 lbs \n• Comfortable using a shovel\, hammer and staple gun \n• Able to stand and walk on uneven ground/in a ditch along a road \n• Works well in a team and follows instructions \n• Over 16 years of age \nClick here to read the full volunteer job description. \n  \nWe need everyone to register so we can update you if there is a change in plans. **Date and time subject to weather and amphibian activity.**

SUMMARY:Working in Oregon Spotted Frog Habitat
DESCRIPTION:Register now for our Working in the Oregon Spotted Frog Habitat Training! This virtual session will enable environmental professionals and municipal staff to identify suitable\, year-round\, Oregon Spotted Frog habitat. Information relating to specific permitting requirements during in-stream works within critical habitat and appropriate salvaging methods will also be provided. This is an important professional development opportunity to ensure due diligence and accuracy in identifying suitable habitats to avoid potential permitting delays. \nEnvironmental professionals or government staff – if you will be working in the Fraser Valley sloughs\, ditches or wetlands\, please consider this limited-time opportunity. This training will be provided by Olga Grunlund and Jon Blais (from the Fraser Valley Conservancy) and Briar Hunter (from the BC Ministry of Water\, Land and Resource Stewardship)\, all specialists in Oregon Spotted Frogs and members of the recovery team.  Once registered\, you will receive a confirmation email. A meeting link will be sent out closer to the event. \nEvent details:\nDate: December 11\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 pm – 13:00 pm PDT (with an additional\, optional\, 30-minutes for questions afterwards) \nPlatform: Online via Zoom \nCost: $25 per person \nRegistration closes once all spots are filled or at 12:00 pm on December 10th. \nFor questions\, please contact Olga: olga@fraservalleyconservancy.ca \nAdditional Information\nThis session is intended for environmental professionals and municipal staff who may come in contact with Oregon Spotted Frog and its habitat. The Oregon Spotted Frog is highly Endangered (provincially and federally). Within Canada\, it is only known to occur in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. It lives in water year-round and is found in a variety of agricultural ditches\, sloughs\, shallow wetlands\, and marshes. In the past decade\, two new populations of Oregon Spotted Frog have been discovered in Abbotsford and Chilliwack\, suggesting there are more potential areas where this endangered frog may be undiscovered. Oregon Spotted Frogs are most likely to be encountered during municipal drainage maintenance works and other similar in-stream works; however\, few environmental professionals are trained in the identification of this cryptic species or the habitat it utilizes. \n\n\nThis training is made possible thanks to funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada.

SUMMARY:Enhance Your Pond for Wildlife Using Live Stakes: A Workshop for Land Owners
DESCRIPTION:Outdoor – Learn\, Clip\, Stake\, Enhance  \nDo you manage a property with a pond that could benefit from enhancements for wildlife? Join the Fraser Valley Conservancy\, together with the City of Abbotsford\, for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn to use live tree stakes to support native species and riparian ecosystems. \nThis workshop is perfect for landowners or others who manage properties with ponds and want to make a difference in supporting local wildlife and conserving riparian areas. \nWhat Are Live Stakes? \n“Live stakes are dormant stem cuttings from live trees and shrubs. They are inserted directly into stream banks or areas prone to erosion. These cuttings will eventually grow into new trees and shrubs\, helping to stabilize soil and prevent further soil loss.” – Penn State Extension  \nThe Fraser Valley Conservancy uses live stakes to not only improve pond and wetland soil stability\, but also to create habitat for wildlife! Live stakes harvested from native trees and shrubs are a quick\, easy\, and cost-effective way to improve your pond at home. \nWhat Will You Learn? \nThis workshop is led by our Habitat Enhancement Coordinator\, Jon Blais. You will learn how to identify native trees and shrubs that are suitable for creating live stakes\, such as willows and red osiers. You will then learn how to clip branches for stakes\, how to install them\, and things you need to know to create stable shorelines and good habitat. Participants are encouraged to bring questions about their own ponds for Jon to answer. \nWhat Will You Do? \nThis is a hands-on workshop that will take place at Gladwin Pond Trail in Abbotsford. After watching Jon’s demonstrations\, you will be clipping and installing stakes\, and putting up beaver cages to protect them. This workshop takes place rain or shine\, so expect to get dirty! \nTakeaways: \n🌿 Learn about native trees and shrubs and their importance for riparian habitats. \n🌿 Watch live demonstrations and practice harvesting branches\, installing live stakes\, and protecting them with beaver cages. \n🌿 Gain hands-on experience in creating habitats that benefit local wildlife. \n🌿 Learn practical techniques that can improve the health of your pond and surrounding areas. \nThis is an adult-oriented event\, not intended for participants under 16. \n$10 registration fee. Registration required. \nIf you have any questions about this event\, please email Jon: jon@fraservalleyconservancy.ca
