Had a lovely time today with the participants of the London CNIB at Fanshawe Conservation Area. A walk across the top of Fanshawe Dam, learned some neat facts about local flora and fauna, and fed the chickadees!

Plans to visit Fanshawe Conservation Area this weekend? Please remember to pack out all litter. Staff have noticed a unprecedented amount of litter on the property! Take only photos, leave only footprints. Please respect the environment and other trail users. #respect

Muskrats can be found at Fanshawe Conservation Area Pittock Conservation Area - UTRCA Wildwood Conservation Area Muskrats can swim under water for 20 minutes! T...hey have a second set of lips that closes behind their front incisors so they can dive underwater, chew and eat without swallowing water. Cattail shoots are their favourite food. Their front incisors keep growing so they need to gnaw on branches to keep them under control. Predators include coyote, eagle, fox, raccoon, and mink. Fun to watch these two muskrats on the halloween day! #muskrats Tourism Oxford Conservation Ontario

This afternoon FCA staff will be opening up the campground washrooms and locking the porta johns. We also will be running some taps throughout the park to allow for air to escape. It might be a good idea at your campsite to run a tap for a bit to allow air to escape and also freshen the line.

This interruption in service is for connection of the UTRCA water line to the new city water line, as part of the VMP construction.

Took a walk at our conservation areas after the recent rain and the fungi have come to life! There are more than 5,000 species of fungi in Ontario. These photo...s give a glimpse of the diversity of shapes and colours! Fungi and bacteria are essential to many of the most basic ecosystem processes: saprobic fungi break down fallen wood and litter returning nutrients to the soil, and nitrogen-fixing bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi assist plants to obtain nutrients from the soil.
