Restoration

We plan and manage a broad range of restoration projects aimed at reversing a long history of damage and neglect of aquatic habitats in Greater Victoria watersheds.

 We're dedicated to restoring salmonid habitat from headwaters to deep waters, through in-stream channel improvements, beach reconstruction, removing invasive plants, and replanting with native species.

Stewardship

Our volunteers are the eyes and ears of local watersheds, dedicating thousands of hours each year to habitat restoration, salmonid monitoring, and community education.

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, and meet like-minded people with a passion for climate action!

Education

We know how important it is to connect youth with nature. This connection fosters awareness, hope, and a sense of responsibility for our natural world.

You'll find us at nearby streams and shorelines, where we engage thousands of K-12 students across southern Vancouver Island annually. We provide hands-on experiences with stewardship and science that inspire action, advocacy, and a greater commitment to conservation.
