Restoration doesn`t end when the planting is finished.
Ongoing monitoring helps us understand how restored habitats are changing over time and how wildlife is responding. Recently, the Rivershed team has been collecting fish data using minnow traps at the sc̓e:ɬxʷəy̓əm (Salmon River)* Foodlands Corridor, and the results are encouraging.
Recent monitoring recorded Coho Salmon, Northern Pikeminnow, and more than 100 Three-spined Stickleback in a single trap.
The site is supporting more than fish. A black bear was spotted nearby, and a North American Beaver has been busy reshaping one of the excavated ponds by building a dam that has created deeper water, providing valuable refuge for fish. It`s exciting to see natural processes taking hold in this largely urban watershed. We`re also pleased to see the bank stabilization work continuing to perform well.
Thank you to @kerrwoodleidal, the Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance, and our Watershed Workforce #volunteers for sharing their expertise and helping make this monitoring work possible.

Rivershed is proud to be one of 200 community-led projects selected for this round of the Ma Earth campaign. Through July 21, every new donor helps unlock additional matching funds, making every gift go even further.
Our goal is to reach 100 donors because, in this campaign, participation matters just as much as the amount donated. We`re already two-thirds of the way there. If you can spare $10, now is a great time to make it count.
Help us reach 100 donors by July 21. Donate at the link in our bio.

This #FoodlandsFriday update is all about birds. 🦆
With the help of youth volunteers, Rivershed collected bird data along the sc̓e:ɬxʷəy̓əm (Salmon River)* Foodlands Corridor as part of the BC Marsh Monitoring Program. This data is collected by identifying birds at the same location throughout the spring using two methods: aural (listening to calls) and visual. The data we collect is then shared with the @bcmarshmonitoring Program and helps track species distribution and population trends. Some of the species we have seen or heard at this Foodlands Corridor include Virginia Rail, Black-headed Grosbeak, Cedar Waxwing and Violet-green Swallow.
