John Andrew shares his vast knowledge of the Wright's Creek Watershed with Dr. Adam Fenech and 12 students from the UPEI School of Climate Change and Adaptation (October 31,2021). It was a beautiful fall day -- perfect for learning about the history of the area around Andrew’s Pond, walking the trails and experiencing the natural diversity of the Wright’s Creek Watershed. Co-chairs Darren Riggs and his dog and Michelle Cottreau also joined the tour.
Well-deserved recognition
Congratulations, John and Christine Andrew. The award recognizes the donation of the 6.6-acre Andrew’s Pond North to the City of Charlottetown, the development of a trail system around the pond, building observation decks, docks and bridges, and the many historical and natural area signs around the watershed.

Above is the net used to clear fish from the water remaining in the pond. The Wright’s Creek stream flow has been diverted away from the work area. All the water in the pictures is isolated from the flowing water.
Quite the structure.
