This summer, Project Watershed staff and volunteers will be getting their feet wet to increase habitat connectivity in Baynes Sound. As part of our multi-year Aquatic Ecosystems Restoration Fund project, we will be conducting an eelgrass transplant off the coast of Gartley Point near Royston.
Come out and learn more about volunteering for Project Watershed on April 4th, 2024. This session will help prepare you for upcoming volunteer opportunities.
Project Watershed is very excited to announce the award of $1.4 million dollars of funding from the BC Salmon Restoration and Innovation Fund to support our forage fish research, monitoring and restoration!
As you may know, Project Watershed has been researching forage fish and their habitats for many years now. To date our work has focused on beach spawning forage fish, specifically Pacific sand lance and surf smelt.
As a token of our appreciation for donations of time, energy and funds contributed to Project Watershed and our projects, we will be throwing a party at the Old House Hotel on January 27th. All donors, volunteers and members are invited to attend.

It has been a productive year at Glen Urquhart. There is lots more to do but we are already seeing the fruits of our labour.
This year’s Giving Tuesday was an outstanding success. $23,063 was raised for environmental restoration, research and education in 2024. Thank you to everyone who participated, especially our Estuary Angels who put forward $10,000 in matching funds.
The weather is looking like fall and with the brief skiff of snow recently Project Watershed staff are beginning to look to the winter forage fish season.
