Lussier Watershed Community Education and Stewardship Development $10,886

The Sheep Creek (Lussier River) residents, believe they can be a powerful source of information to improve or enhance decisions made in the Lussier Watershed. The problem is the lack of essential technical knowledge and training to fully communicate with the logging industry and government ministries. To rectify this situation, the residents of Sheep Creek are proposing a project to ensure community involvement in the environmental stewardship of the watershed. Educational workshops held in the community, field work and training to monitor the Lussier River will enable the participation in the decisions that impact homes in that area. Informed field observations and data collected by Sheep Creek residents will be made available to government and industry benefiting any future planning undertaken in the watershed. The goals of this project are as follows:

1. Improved education about the Lussier Watershed for Sheep Creek (Lussier River) residents.
2. Improved access to resources and training for Sheep Creek residents.
3. Improved knowledge of streambank erosion for Sheep Creek residents.
4. Enhance "community building"
