- Don't forget - tonight at 2:00am the clocks "spring" forward one hour! We sure are looking forward to having a bit more light in our day. #daylightsavings
- In winter, moose don’t have access to aquatic plants—the main source of minerals for their diet. As a result, they are drawn to the roadside for a salty snack. Stay alert on the roads!
- If you spot a yellow chopper in the sky, give our staff a wave! They will be working hard this month to stock many lakes & rivers.
- Sliding into the weekend like... Fish aren't the only thing our #GanaraskaFishCounter captures. Check out more live footage on the video tab at riverwatcherdaily.is/Migration#
00:00 - Our Conservation Officers work hard to protect Ontario's natural resources and ensure public safety. Thank you! @OntarioOCOA
- 71,000 Walleye were just released in Lake Ontario! A big thank you to White Lake Fish Culture Station.
00:00 - In recognition of #NationalAviationDay we salute the men and women who support, maintain and pilot the water bombers and bucket helicopters that have been hard at work on fire duty in the province. Ontario's heroes! @ONForestfires
- Happy #NationalLawEnforcementAppreciationDay to our Conservation Officers who preserve and protect Ontario’s natural resources. Like this post to say thank you!
- We're restoring Ontario waters! This young Walleye was happy to be one of 29,000 released today in Lake Ontario.
00:00 - Last week, we helped stock Lake Simcoe with 2,200 muskie fall fingerlings! Muskie disappeared from Lake Simcoe in the 1930s & our goal is to re-establish a self-sustaining population of muskie in this lake.
- River otters are known for being extremely playful even in winter. They like to wrestle, chase their pals and even slide down snowy hills. You otter believe they would love tobogganing!
