Mark Creek Recovery Program

Kimberley's Mark Creek has experienced more than 100 years of negative environmental impacts: fire, flooding, tree cover removal, acid mine drainage, highway construction, stream channelization, urban and recreational development, and domestic water diversion. All this combined has degraded the water quality and fish habitat in the creek. The goal of this program, which has received $27,000 from CKFRP this year, is to improve public knowledge and understanding of Mark Creek and support a fish habitat assessment. This summer, the program plans to clean up urban waste, pull knapweed and other noxious weeds, and perform a creel census. Other projects will be ongoing. The program is spearheaded by the East Kootenay Environmental Society (EKES).
