Rivershed connects communities to strengthen the health and resilience of the Fraser Watershed.

This #FoodlandsFriday, the team is busy as the summer field season begins to wind down. Final summer maintenance rounds are happening at established sites along the sc̓e:ɬxʷəy̓əm (Salmon River)* corridor to help prepare them for the fall and winter seasons.

There is also something new taking shape. Restoration work is getting underway at a new site along the sc̓e:ɬxʷəy̓əm corridor. We’ll be sharing more about that site and the work happening there soon.

A big thank you to all the collaborators and volunteers who have contributed to work along the corridor this season, including volunteers from the @riseup_phabc program.

The Watershed Workforce program is a free 2-day overnight experience for youth ages 15-20 taking place on September 26th and 27th. Participants will spend time on the sc̓e:ɬxʷəy̓əm (Salmon River)* Foodlands corridor, where active restoration and long-term care of land and water are underway. They will also experience the Fraser River while paddling in a Voyageur canoe, spend time with experienced practitioners, gain hands-on experience, and learn about careers in watershed stewardship.


Activities include learning about amphibians with @fvconservancy, planting native species with @rivershedbc, testing water quality and identifying fish with @kerrwoodleidal, and collecting insect samples with PERCS (Perennial Ecosystem Restoration for Carbon Sequestration in Canadian Agricultural Landscapes).

Participants will also paddle a Voyageur canoe from Mission to Langley, alongside special guests working in a wide variety of watershed careers.

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. ...
