MEDICINE HAT, AB – A trio of events on Saturday at Connaught Pond will mark World Water Day in Medicine Hat.

To start the day, South East Alberta Watershed Alliance staff will demonstrate how to propagate plain cottonwood trees, followed by the Grasslands Naturalists showing how to identify native shrubs and trees.

The morning will end with participants picking up garbage from around the pond and at the trailhead of Marlborough Coulee.

The day will also serve as the launch of year two of the Adopt-A-Pond Initiative.

Participants are asked to meet at 8:50 a.m. at the west side of Connaught Pond, with the event running until noon. Participants are asked to bring personal refreshments, and appropriate footwear and clothing, including gloves. Tools and information will be provided by SEAWA.
