from Headwaters to Deep Waters

Building a legacy of healthy streams and shorelines

We offer many ways for you to take action to protect and conserve local watersheds: remove invasive plants, clean up shorelines, participate in stream restoration projects, teach students, meet like-minded people.

Our hands-on, place-based environmental education programs inspire action, advocacy, and a greater commitment to conservation and stewardship among youth in our communities. Roll up your sleeves, and get ready to learn!

Help us protect watersheds throughout Greater Victoria by becoming a member. Together, we will make a lasting difference in the health of local watersheds, streams, and shorelines.

For over 20 years, Peninsula Streams has restored and protected watersheds throughout Greater Victoria. Today our work is more important than ever, as urbanization and climate change continue to degrade local watersheds, streams, and shorelines.
