  • All About Whales With Rhyl Frith

    2024-04-12

    As part of the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s marine team, Rhyl Frith is the Field Trial Coordinator responsible for organizing and testing acoustic on-demand and low breaking strength fishing gear – two innovative types of fishing gear that are helping prevent whales and other marine species from becoming entangled in ropes and lead lines when they pass through an area. Join Rhyl for a deep dive into marine conservation, as we learn about the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale and explore CWF’s efforts to work collaboratively with fisheries to support their conservation through the application of new fishing technology.

Connecting With Nature

  • How To Build a Turtle Nesting Site

    2026-07-02

    Sometimes turtles nest in problem areas like gardens, driveways or compost piles. To encourage turtles to nest elsewhere, or to create nesting habitat if it is lacking, consider building a nesting site. Keep in mind that turtles will often return to sites where they have nested before, so it may take a few seasons before a new site is used. We also recommend having nest protectors ready to protect any nests laid.

  • Make a Monarch Butterfly Garden

    2020-04-01

    The Monarch Butterfly is a species that doesn’t stay in Canada for the winter — it flies as far as Mexico! That adds up to a migration of over 4,000 kilometres round trip (there and back). Monarchs are also listed as an endangered species on Canada’s species at risk registry, so we thought spring would be the perfect time for you to work on a project to help them! Here’s how to grow a garden they will love.

  • How to Take Identifiable Photos of Butterflies & Moths

    2026-07-02

    It can be difficult to take photos of wildlife. It is not essential to photograph every point on this diagram to get an identifiable observation. Just try your best! Both butterflies and moths can be pollinators as well as food for other species, such as birds and bats. Some species cocoon over winter in fallen leaves. Why not leave the leaves this fall to help wildlife?

  • How to Take Identifiable Photos of Fish

    2026-07-02

    Taking photos of wildlife can be challenging. It is not essential to photograph every point on this diagram to get an identifiable observation. Just try your best! When photographing fish, minimize air exposure by taking an underwater photo whenever possible, allowing them to breathe freely. If taking a picture outside the water, keep the fish near the water and lift it briefly for the photo, limiting air exposure to 10 seconds or less. Be sure to follow local fishing guidelines and regulations.
