A similar project is planned later for Alexander Robinson elementary, both as a means of giving kids access to their local creeks.The river management society also wants to encourage people who live near streams to contact them and so they can receive training in how to monitor and improve their areas for both wildlife and water.
Borick-Cunningham says some groups have already formed to adopt portions of Morse Creek, Golden Pond, 232nd Channel and at creek near 122nd Avenue.By training people in the basics of stream keeping, those people then can train their neighbours and then form neighbourhood groups.Residents are also working on improving the streamside of McKenney Creek, which runs past the Ridge Meadows Hospital.“There’s only so much [ARMS] we can physically do.”
