This summer of 2022 will be a busy one for Brooklyn Creek Watershed Society. We were successful in two grant applications with Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) and received over $40,000 in total. The funds will be used to make repairs to the fish ladder located at Balmoral Avenue and to undertake habitat restoration work on Birkdale Farm in a section just below Anderton Avenue.
These projects were identified as high priority in the Level 1 Fish Habitat Assessment undertaken last year, again using funds from PSF. We are thrilled to have these projects funded. Current Environmental Ltd., a local biological consulting firm, will oversee the work. Our local DFO Community Advisor, Laura Terry, is supportive of the projects and will provide advise as needed.
Most of the work will occur in the summer months during low water. We will notify volunteers when we will need assistance to plant native species in the riparian areas and other projects.
Should you have any questions regarding these projects, send us a note.
