Erie Creek Fish Habitat Enhancement Project
Salmo River Streamkeepers Society (Salmo, BC)
$5,000.00

The Salmo Watershed Streamkeepers Society (SWSS) is working with landowners to enhance ecosystem values, fish habitat, prevent flooding and stabilize banks in this highly impacted section of Erie Creek. This project is seen as a demonstration project. It is outlined in the "Habitat Assessments and Restoration Prescriptions for the Lower Reach of Erie Creek within the Salmo River Watershed" as commissioned by the 37 member Watershed Planning Team of the Salmo Watershed-based Fish Sustainability Plan. The creek is threatening to break through the project site causing significant land loss, a threat to the highway 3 bridge and the town of Salmo. Local materials to reduce costs will be used. The site is 25m long and will be designed to 1:200 year flow.
