This past summer and fall, A Rocha intern Kenton Neufeld undertook a project to gain a greater understanding of the fish and their habitat in three water bodies at the Brooksdale Environmental Centre. Kenton and his team surveyed and documented eight fish species in the Little Campbell River, a small tributary and a small pond, with special emphasis on studying habitat preferences and relative abundances. With this information, we hope to be able to better protect important existing fish habitat and identify aquatic and riparian habitat that need rehabilitation. Invasive species seem to be the main threat to fish habitat at Brooksdale. Hopefully in the years to come we’ll be able to control their spread and return areas to their natural state. With a little hard work, the beauty and potential of the river and wetlands at Brooksdale will surely provide enjoyment and learning for generations to come.
