Salmon Enhancement Projects

The Alouette River Management Society has had the pleasure of restoring salmon habitat throughout the Alouette River and it’s off channels. In restoring habitat, we have been able to expand salmon habitat in the City of Pitt Meadows and City of Maple Ridge. The 232 street channel and Coniagias Farm are two examples of these projects, by making channels along the stream, and 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. To see some of our other restoration projects and accomplishments, check them out below.
