Connecting a movement to protect and restore the Fraser Watershed.

We recently completed effectiveness monitoring (checking on how well restoration efforts are holding up) along the sc̓e:ɬxʷəy̓əm corridor!

Heavy rain the day before meant the site was partially flooded when we arrived, but we forged ahead. It is always fascinating to see how different conditions shape the sites over time.

We snapped photos, counted fish, measured channels, and installed dissolved oxygen loggers to collect long-term water quality data. You can be sure our work was top-notch — it was overseen by the local llamas (see photo #2)! 🦙

🌱 Help us plant with purpose this spring — in honour of mom. 💚

Across the Fraser Watershed buds are blooming and our team is getting ready to plant native species like salmonberry, red elderberry, and dogwood to restore riparian corridors at sites along the sc̓e:ɬxʷəy̓əm, Bell Slough, and Stoney Creek–Nechako.

We’re raising $2,000 to purchase plants that support salmon, wildlife, and the ecosystems we all depend on.

🌼 This Mother’s Day, give back to the lands and waters that nourish us all. #DonateToday in honour of a mom who loves to tend and care (link in bio).

Happy #FoodlandsFriday! 🌸 Today we are highlighting the sqʷəliʔəs (Red Flowering Currant)*, one of the species planted at the Foodlands corridor on the sc̓e:ɬxʷəy̓əm (Salmon River). 🌸 sqʷəliʔəs are great for riparian restoration as the dense shrubs provide food and shelter for wildlife and their root system helps stabilize stream banks and reduce soil erosion. The shrubs are also drought tolerant and provide food and habitat for wildlife, especially migrating hummingbirds.
