Greetings!
For a 'quiet' summer, there is much to take advantage of - whether you are in PaB or not! Then there are wonderful offerings from PaBIA's "Learning with Oshkinigig" today and PaBIA's Naturalist and sailing this weekend and the Fishing Derby next Monday! And with the rain we had last week, some good news regarding the gypsy moths. Mother Nature is at her best!
From our partners, there are many offerings from which you can learn all kinds of interesting things about the wonderful environment we are privileged to enjoy! And from our own Helen Bryce, the beginning of a series of articles on the impact and future of water levels and what we can be doing about it.
And fingers are crossed that our American and International friends will be able to return to their beloved paradise...hoping for the best!

Gypsy Moth Caterpillars Going to the Pupa Stage
Sandy Boeckh believes that there is still time to build those pheromone traps (described in last week's eBlast and now found on PaBIA's website) for the male gypsy moths. Look at the two pictures she's shared: one - the moth's caterpillars on the trunk of a pine, turning “V” shaped as they prepare to pupate and the second - the pupae hanging in the pine trees~
|
|
|
|
David Bywater suggested that TreeAzin injections (used for Introduced Pine Sawfly) also are effective against Gypsy Moths. It would be interesting to know if folks who did these a couple years ago to protect their pines against pine sawflies have fewer gypsy moths. No one is sure how long it lasts.
Also, once the gypsy moths lay their egg masses, these can be scraped off trees, railings, structures, etc into a bucket of soapy water and this will prevent the eggs from hatching next spring.
|
|
|
Please Answer The Following Questions. Each response takes you to a new tab...so please, respond then just return to the eBlast in the previous tab. TY! |
|
|
Was TreeAzin applied to your pine trees for Pine Sawfly several years ago?
|
|
Yes, TreeAzin was applied to the trees a few years ago
|
|
|
|
|
If yes, are you experiencing Gypsy Moth infestation this year?
|
|
|
|
|
If yes, is the infestation affecting more than 5 trees
|
|
|
|
|
No, I didn't apply TreeAzin to the trees a few years ago for Pine Sawfly
|
|
|
|
|
If no, are you experiencing Gypsy Moth infestation this year?

Nature Helps in Our Fight Against Gypsy Moths by Sandy Boeckh
We may have received some help from Mother Nature in our battle against the infestation of gypsy moths. The caterpillars were slowing down and looking like they were preparing to pupate just over a week ago. However, the apparent slowing down or lethargy was likely the first sign of a virus and a fungus that have killed many GM caterpillars.
The Virus
If you see V-shaped GM caterpillar carcasses on the trunks of your trees, they may have died from the “nuclear polyhedrosis virus” or NPV. It is a natural virus that remains dormant in the soil and is released onto mature caterpillars after heavy rains (which we had last week). The caterpillars carry the virus up to the leaves where it is eaten. Their digestive systems become disrupted after consumption as their stomachs release the virus. Outward signs include brown discolouration, regurgitation from stress, lethargy, and finally decomposition. As it decomposes, the virus is released into the air and infects other caterpillars. There is often a 100% mortality rate.
|
|
Sandy took these two pictures of the dying caterpillars (above) and others with at least one pupa (on the right). So although some caterpillars are dying off, many will make it to the moth stage and that is when the pheromone traps will hopefully make a difference toward future generations of these caterpillars! |
|
|
The Fungus
The caterpillar carcasses that are head-down on the tree trunks (there appear to be more of these than the V-shaped carcasses) have died off from “Entomaphaga maimaiga fungus”. It only attacks the caterpillars in their final stages when they are large and almost ready to form cocoons or pupae. The caterpillars die hanging head down (see the photo) and bodily fluids drip down out of them and down the tree trunk. The fungus spreads from these fluids and as the caterpillars decompose. As a bonus, this fungus can be carried to the cocoons, the adult moth stage, and to the egg sacks.
The heavy rain last week, obviously missed caterpillars that had already entered the pupae stage and thus we still have some pupae around our properties as well as moths flying into our pheromone traps. Hopefully, the fungus and virus killing the mature caterpillars, in addition to your efforts making pheromone traps to capture and kill the male moths, will have a large impact on the gypsy moth population next year.

The Grammar of Animacy -
A Conversation with Robin Wall Kimmerer
by Trudy Irvine, Member of Education Committee
I can attest that, as a student of biology in the early 90’s, anthropomorphism and personification were frowned upon. Plants and animals were to be viewed through a scientific lens and were largely regarded as an increasingly complex series of cellular structures and chemical cascades, all with the end goal of passing on genes to subsequent generations. Dissatisfaction and dissent with this view were not often expressed, and recognition of the wonder of nature was quite beside the point - only Sir David Attenborough could get away with talking like that!
So, imagine my delight in recently hearing a CBC radio interview with Robin Wall Kimmerer, professor of plant biology and author of Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants about her belief in the “personhood of nature.” Ms. Kimmerer’s enchantment with our natural world and recognition of how, even when we cultivate a quality of attention to our “life sources”, language can fail us, resonated. Ms. Kimmerer’s discussion and use of language herself were by turns lyrical and thought-provoking in the 45-minute conversation with CBC radio’s Mary Hynes.
For those that appreciate the beauty, wonder, and life force itself inherent in the water, rocks, and flora and fauna of Georgian Bay, this is recommended listening - perfect for (yet another) rainy, contemplative day.

What Impacts Our Water Levels,
What Does The Future Bring, and
What Can We Do About It?
by Helen Bryce, Director of Education
INTRODUCTION
As a child growing up here every summer, I listened to my grandfather talk about the water levels. He described a 5 - 7 year cycle; and, as a child, I noticed the water level gradually rising each summer for a few years until the next summer, the boathouse dock was underwater! Then, just as gradually as it rose, the water level began to recede to its previous lower level. Up and down, like a roller coaster every 5-7 years. It was a predictable cycle that everyone talked about so not too surprising or unexpected for cottagers and those permanent boathouses and docks built on cribs weathered the cycle just fine. Why isn’t it that way now? What has happened to create the more extreme roller coaster of ups and downs in the last several decades with the water levels of Georgian Bay (GB)?
Of course, the answer is complex and involves several processes - each one complicated in its own right. I will attempt, in a series of short articles, to explain in laymen’s terms, what those influences are and to do so in priority order from the most influential to the least.
Full disclosure! This is not an academic article. The information I will share has been distilled from an amazing resource document called "Water Levels Q&A - Just the facts” that was written by David Sweetnam and Rupert Kindersley, Executive Directors of Georgian Bay Forever (GBF) and Georgian Bay Association (GBA), respectfully. They did so in response to the 259 questions asked during the Water Symposium last Oct. 24, 2020, hosted by GBF and GBA. If you are interested in much more scientific detail, read the entire resource document here. When I get into the finer details of data, diversions, and regulations in this series, I have consulted and freely pulled from many online resources. These will be listed at the end of each article where applicable should you wish to delve deeper.
Look for next week’s article which will be a simple explanation of the processes and interactions between precipitation and evaporation which have the greatest impact on our water levels.

Q & As From "5 Things You Can Be Fined For' Article Answered by Tom Lundy
1. What do you do if you can't find your Boating Licence [PCOC]?
3.What do you do if you can't find ownership papers [a paid receipt of purchase..? From twenty years ago?]
There is no Ownership paper for a boat, there is a Pleasure Craft License. A PCL is now valid for only 10 years. You will likely be able to renew off your old PCL numbers.
4.If we find all the family PCOC's, could we just place a photocopy of all in each boat?
The law is the law. We cannot change that. The law states that photocopies are not accepted.
That said,
- Some people carry a colour photocopy of both their PCOC and Drivers license, even laminate them, and carry a copy in each vessel.
-
There is a free App for phones called UGO Wallet to keep a copy of both Driver's Licenses and PCOCs.
5.What do a boat registration document and ownership papers look like?

Is Recycling Plastic Working? Thursday, July 29th at 12 pm
Since mass-production began in the early 1900s, the use of plastic has spread to different fields from medicine to electronic manufacturers to restaurant chains. In Canada, domestic demand for plastic is about 4,667 kilotonnes annually, while on a national basis only about 9% of plastic thrown out ends up getting recycled. This can’t go on. What can be done about it? In 2018, the Canadian government joined the Ocean Plastics Charter that is working with businesses, international organizations, and other countries to ensure plastics are designed for reuse and recycling. How can we get there? This second installment will focus on the types of recyclable plastics, on the different recycling processes, the status of recycling with a focus to Ontario, and what is needed to be done to drastically change how much plastic goes to harder-to-find landfills and litters the environment. We will also be going over strategies you can use to support initiatives around more sustainable approaches to plastic production, use, and management.
The lunch-time webinars are:
Is Recycling Plastic Working? Thursday, July 29th @ 12 - 1 pm
Plastic Waters: Thursday, August 26th @ 12 - 1 pm
