GOOD NEWS FOR COHO SALMON IN BEACH CREEK

Early in the morning of September 12th a team of over 20 volunteers gathered at a spot above the creek bank just off the fourth fairway. Over the years, lower spawning pools have been covered with sand and silt. Buckets full of river bed rocks were carried down a steep bank into the ravine below for placement into the stream.

Biodegradable mats were placed on the bank to reduce erosion and enable plantings of Red Osier Dogwood and Sword Ferns. This restoration project was financed by a grant from the Pacific Salmon Foundation. And thanks go as well to our QBSK volunteers, and those from Mid-Island Castaways, and the Memorial Golf Course.
