Meadowridge students recently released 500 salmon into a creek that they had been cleaning up since December.
This was the first time salmon were released by Meadowridge School and it is part of an effort to clean up and rehabilitate Latimer Creek, which runs through a recently acquired property next to the school.
“Latimer Creek is a class A watercourse which provides habitat for a variety of fish species including rainbow and cutthroat trout and coho and chum salmon,” said Lyn Tyler, the private school’s director of development.
