Throwback Thursday: Did you know the Alouette Rive

Throwback Thursday: Did you know the Alouette River once supported thriving Sockeye runs before the dam was built in 1926? Thanks to years of research and restoration efforts, we’re now seeing hope for their return. Every step back in time reminds us how far we’ve come and how much potential the Alouette still holds.
📸This photo captures a historic moment, the first Sockeye Salmon to return to the Alouette system and be successfully released into the Alouette Reservoir.
Let’s keep the momentum going, support the Salmon Strong: Sink or Swim Campaign and help us write the next chapter of this story.

Winterizing your Mason Bees: Helping our tiny poll

Winterizing your Mason Bees: Helping our tiny pollinators rest easy 🐝
As the weather cools, it’s time to tuck your mason bees in for winter! These gentle native pollinators spend the cold months in their cocoons, waiting for spring warmth to return.
To help them thrive next season:
- Gather your bee houses once activity stops.
- Carefully remove and clean the nesting tubes or trays to prevent mold and parasites.
- Store cocoons in a breathable container in a cool, dry place, like an unheated garage or fridge (around 2–4°C).

Reinstall clean nesting materials in early spring when blossoms begin to bloom. 🌸
By giving your mason bees a safe winter rest, you’re ensuring a healthy population ready to pollinate your garden and native plants next year! 🌿

Just as the Alouette River flows steadily through

Just as the Alouette River flows steadily through time, we remember the steady courage of those who came before us. Their sacrifices allow us to protect the places we love, the forests, the rivers, and the wildlife that make our community home.
Lest we forget. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Fins and Feathers event yesterday! 🐟🦉

Participants went on a journey of the Pacific salmon's life cycle which was followed by a guided educational tour of the operations at ALLCO Fish Hatchery. Guests also had the opportunity to see spawning salmon returning to the Alouette River from the river viewing platform. A reminder of the importance of ongoing conservation work in our watershed.

Guests also took part in an engaging presentation by the Northern Spotted Owl Breeding Program, where they learned about efforts to protect this endangered species and were even introduced to Small Eyes, one of the program’s ambassador owls! 🦉

A heartfelt thank-you to our volunteers and donors who made the day possible! Your time, energy, and passion keep our community connected to the environment we all share. 🌿
