Central Westcoast Forestry Society is supporting Hesquiaht, Ahousaht, and Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations’ initiative to restore critical salmon populations in the Clayoquot Sound by reconstructing rearing habitat. The work involves implementing bioengineering approaches (woody debris structures, riparian planting) to stabilize banks, reduce erosion, and create habitats supportive of migrating salmon. This project will support at least 25 jobs and provide technical training and certification to workers. (Photo: Lora Tyron)

SkeenaWild Conservation Trust is conducting riparian restoration surveys on four fish-bearing streams north of Terrace: Willow Creek, Spring Creek, Lean-To Creek, and Deep Creek. These surveys will identify priority areas for future restoration work and provide a baseline for future monitoring of stream characteristics. This project supports four jobs.

District of Kent is replacing a culvert on the Lower Agassiz slough to open the waterway for fish passage. A new fish-friendly flood gate will make valuable habitat accessible to overwintering juvenile salmon and other fish species. This project will support at least 14 jobs. (Photo: Picture BC / Flickr)

The Elk River Alliance's Community-Based Water Monitoring program will gather data to monitor Elk River tributaries that are critical habitat for wildlife. By collecting data and identifying trends in ecosystem health, the Elk River Alliance will be able to create an early warning system to identify the effects of climate change and land use decisions. This project will support the training and certification of up to 15 people. (Photo: Picture BC / Flickr)
