Volunteers hacked out invasive weeds growing in Lawson’s Brook behind the Williams Lake dam in the Shaw Wilderness Park.
Poison ivy can cause red, swollen skin, blisters, and severe itching in a few hours of contact with the plant.

The McNamara Trout-a-Rama has just resurfaced. The two-year Covid-lockdown and the recent wildfire closure of forests and parks shut down this popular family fishing derby in Spryfield.
