The removal of the steel wall is officially underway, and that’s something worth celebrating! Join us for a Wall Party at the Old House on Thursday, January 22nd, where we’ll raise a glass to this major milestone in the restoration journey.
The K’ómoks First Nation, the City of Courtenay, and Project Watershed are pleased to share that work will begin on January 14 to remove the 400-metre steel retaining wall at Kus-kus-sum.
As we look back at last year, we’re pleased to share an update on our local projects and their impact on ecological restoration, research, and youth education in the Comox Valley and other areas of coastal Vancouver Island.

We are very excited to host our 2025 Keeping It Living Dinner at 40 KNOTS Winery on September 13th. We hope you can join us from 5 pm – 8 pm, as we enjoy food, wine and music from the Comox Valley while celebrating ecological restoration, research and education in our community.
Over the last eight years, Project Watershed has been developing and running our Keeping It Living Education Program to educate youth about their environment and connect them with its stewardship.
Have you wondered what happens at Project Watershed in the winter? Plants may go dormant at this time of year, but Pacific sand lance are busy spawning – and that means our four-person forage fish team and 32 community volunteers are also busy!
On February 22nd, we will be appreciating all those who volunteered with us in 2024 and orienting anyone who wants to volunteer in 2025 at our Symposium event at 2 pm. We encourage all current and prospective volunteers to attend!
On September 20 and 21, over 20 people were on site to help with planting at the Comox Valley Regional District’s (CVRD) Dyke Road Park redevelopment project.
To launch a new field-based environmental program, the Comox Valley Project Watershed Society has received a $5,000 donation from District 47 Vancouver Island of RTOERO.
