After many meetings and hours spent learning about clams, the day for the clam rescue finally arrived. Lake Royal did not have the number of clams that Woodglen Lake did, but we were still able to count and save at least 200 clams! We happily measure and weighed at least 100 clams ourselves and then had the pleasure of throwing them into our own lake. It was truly a moment of joy. Only a short year ago we walked the shores of Woodglen Lake knowing that there was nothing we could do to help the mussel that had been lost during the lowering of the water. It is nice to know that in a very small way we played a part of helping our local eco system.
