Bear Creek Nature Park Tour in 2015
Oyster River Enhancement Society (ORES) has managed a salmon hatchery in the area since 1983. Bear Creek Nature Park was established in 2010 and is certified as an Ecological Gift with Environment Canada, protecting the ORES hatchery operation. This YERII project is to map ORES side channel #1 with Biologist, Ian Moul. The youth will learn ecological inventory, research methods, and teamwork and communication skills. They will teach their acquired knowledge and experience to the tour participants.
