A keen group of volunteers planted over 550 native plants from 17 species along Hyde Creek. Way to go everyone! Mike Collins brought the much needed machinery and transportation along with some great sandwiches. We had a good group of student volunteers to help get the job done. Clicking on some images can enlarge them.
The Hyde Creek Watershed Society is located in Port Coquitlam, B.C. This volunteer organization operates a small Salmon Hatchery and provides Educational Programs for local schools as well as an annual Salmon Festival. With few exceptions, the images appearing in this blog are mine as is the blog.
Pink Salmon Release - March 20, 2008
The DFO dropped off 170,000 young Pink Salmon into our troughs in the afternoon with the intention that they be released after sunset. At sunset a group of volunteers netted the young fish by the hundreds and put them in buckets. Then it was the quick trip to the creek and the beginning of a long journey for the fish.
