While the Kus-kus-sum site is already beginning to come into its own, there is still much work to be done. Just over one third of the area was recontoured and planted last year in 2022. Project Watershed aims to recontour and replant the remainder of the site this summer and fall, if funding allows. The key works you will see on site this year include recontouring and regrading, habitat complexing, and native species planting.
We will be hiring two environmental technicians who will be supporting Project Watershed’s restoration and monitoring projects for during Summer of 2023.

Project Watershed’s “Students Keeping It Living in the Comox Valley” education and engagement program has been met with a huge amount of interest this year as over 50 classes were eager to participate. With funds from TD Friends of the Environment, Peninsula COOP, BC Gaming and Habitat Conservation Trust Fund (link each), we hope to be able to offer our program to 30 of these classes (over 600 students) this spring.
