Yumi and I went to a presentation tonight by the Pacific Spirit Park Society featuring the revitalization of Spanish Bank Creek.
This creek in Vancouver had not seen salmon return in some 80 years, however a restoration project over the last few years has been a geat success, with over 60 spawners counted in autumn 2004.
The Spanish Bank Streamkeepers are a passionate and dedicated crew, and they made a presentation along with their Department of Fisheries and Oceans Community Advisor Sandie Hollick-Kenyon.
Considering that Vancouver used to have over 65 creeks, and only a handful remain in various states of health, this project is an inspiration.
