HOW WE SUPPORT PACIFIC SALMON IN THE ALOUETTE RIVER
Community Outreach
Our organization is deeply involved in the community of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. We make it a goal of ours to engage the community in educational events, talk about salmon conservation, restoration projects and our Adopt-A-Block program. We believe in collaborating with the community, individuals, businesses and other organizations to create effective change and support the Alouette River and all the species that depend on it.
Salmonoid Habitat Restoration
We have had the pleasure of restoring salmon habitat throughout the Alouette River and it’s off channels. By making channels along streams, supplying gravel and woody debris, we have created areas for salmon to reside over winter and spawn in. This has further allowed us to increase the number of salmon able to live in our river, and its tributaries within the City of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.
Classroom Programs
Our classroom programs have been created with the BC Teachers Learning Outcomes in mind and each program is relevant to our ecosystem here in the Fraser Valley. From teaching about the five pacific salmon species, our watershed, pollution, littering, to bees, bats, frogs and everything in between. We visit schools throughout the Lower Mainland teaching kids of all ages about the importance of the ecosystems and wildlife within our reach.
