GBF was so lucky to have 8 incredible summer staff

GBF was so lucky to have 8 incredible summer staff over the last 4 months.

Jared, Sean, David, and Adam mapped the eastern shorelines of Georgian Bay and removed nearly 300 invasive phragmites stands from Georgian Bay. These efforts protect coastal wetlands and allow native vegetation and biodiversity to thrive.

Kerri, Emma, Sofie, and Bronwyn hosted shoreline cleanups, installed 150 microplastic filters on laundry machines in Collingwood, hosted a 3-part webinar series (available to watch on our YouTube), and analyzed the plastics that are entering Georgian Bay through 3 trash trapping devices- seabins, trash traps, and gutter bins.

We wish you all the very best in your upcoming school year and on behalf of all of us at GBF and those who enjoy Georgian Bay- THANK YOU for spending your summer protecting beautiful Georgian Bay.
