Quinte Conservation is advising residents of the potential for nuisance flooding due to expected rainfall and warming temperatures.

The Laurie Gashinski Outdoor Education Fund through Quinte Conservation assists local classes with field trip costs for Quinte Conservation’s outdoor education program. Teachers may apply for a fee top-up to ensure all their students are able to participate in outdoor learning and activities.

Quinte Conservation’s Water Resources department continues to monitor the current and projected weather forecasts that will influence this spring’s freshet. With higher-than-normal water content in the snowpack and significant ice coverage across the watershed, these conditions present a potential risk for flooding once thawing occurs.
