Bennery Brook 2024 Stream Restoration
This summer, SWEPS restored 208 meters of Bennery Brook through digger log installation, thalweg development, and debris removal to improve fish habitat and flow. Despite setbacks from storm washouts and highway runoff, the team observed a return of trout, Kingfishers, and other species—an encouraging sign of ecological recovery in this once-damaged stream system.
SWEPS has launched a blue-green algae monitoring project across 13 sites in the Shubenacadie Watershed. The initiative includes lab testing and public information sessions to help identify and respond to high-risk areas.
