A serene forest scene featuring a gentle stream meandering through the woods. Tall trees, some covered in moss, frame the stream while vibrant green foliage and scattered fallen leaves adorn the forest floor. The atmosphere is calm, with a hint of mist in the air.

A tranquil forest scene depicts a stream flowing through a wooded area. The image features a prominent, moss-covered tree at the center, which is mirrored in the composition. Lush ferns and various green plants frame the water's edge, while the atmosphere is calm and slightly overcast, enhancing the natural beauty of the surroundings.

#CowichanRiver - there's salmon swimming in it but you can't really see them in vid.
Backroads access.

This is a major part of the #TwinnedWatershedsProject - joining #Koksilah to #Cowichan & #Chemainus #watersheds.

Mini cascading #waterfalls along #FellowsCreek - one of several tributaries that feed into the #KoksilahRiver. It's part of the Xwulqw’selu #Koksilah #Watershed on Southern #VancouverIsland.
Backroads access view. In Summer, it dries up in multiple areas.

Fellows Creek is part of the #TwinnedWatershedsProject, which is co-led by #CowichanWatershed Board, #CowichanTribes & #Halalt #FirstNation. It launched in 2021 to document the state of the watersheds & identify possibilities for improving their #ecological health. #Salmon are specifically being studied as part of this 5 year project because they are a #KeystoneSpecies that helps signal the health of a watershed.

The Xwulqw’selu & Chemainus watersheds are both located in the highly privatized, highly degraded landscape of southeast Vancouver Island & face similar issues. The #rivers and their #tributaries have been deeply impacted by land use & #ClimateChange. Unlike the neighbouring Quw’utsun (Cowichan) watershed, the Xwulqw’selu & Chemainus rivers have no lake to store water, which leaves them more vulnerable to drought & dangerously low flows.

#PatrolasCreek is a stream on #VancouverIsland near #ShawniganLake. Patrolas Creek is near the #Cowichan station & Theik Indian Reserve 2. This creek is part of the Cowichan #Koksilah #Watershed on South #VanIsle. This is the creek from backroads access.

A serene river, surrounded by trees & many green plants.

#BlackHawthorn is planted here in several places where we do #streamkeepers work. It's helped us to naturally repair damaged embankments along water courses. It is a beneficial #agroforestry tree.

Yesterday, my family and I helped the #CougarCreek Streamkeepers in #NorthDelta to pull garbage from the #creek. We also put bark mulch on the muddy parts of the trail to make them passable, which will hopefully mean fewer people leave the path and trample the sensitive creekside vegetation. I highly recommend volunteering with a stewardship organization that projects local waterways (if there is one near you!).

Come to hear Caitlin talk about Kus-kus-sum! Both the Millard Piercy Watershed Stewards and Project Watershed Society are part of the Conservation Partnership, and we are thrilled to help promote this event.
