Tin Town Holiday Open House

Seeking volunteers to sell items and take donations from our office during Tin Town Open House on Saturday, December 6th.

Forage Fish Feature – Fall 2025

Sun, sand, and… fish eggs? There’s more going on at the beach than meets the eye! Unlike most fish, surf smelt and Pacific sand lance lay their eggs right on sandy beaches.

Nurturing the Energy Bars of the Sea

Pacific sand lance are small, silvery fish with a big job. Think of them as the “energy bars” of the Salish Sea as they fuel salmon, seabirds, and even whales. But before they can fuel the marine food web, they need the right shoreline to lay their eggs. So, what kind of beaches do they prefer?

Keeping It Living Dinner 2025: A Night of Community and Generosity 

Last Saturday, the Comox Valley came together for the Keeping It Living Dinner 2025 in support of Kus-kus-sum, an evening that exceeded expectations in spirit, attendance, and impact. The event was sold out—and for good reason. Between the delicious food, warm company, and generous hearts of donors, it was a night to remember.

Presenting the 2025 Keeping It Living Award

We are proud to present the 2025 Keeping It Living Award to the Millard Piercy Watershed Stewards, in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the protection and restoration of the K’ómoks Estuary and its connected watersheds.

Fall Fieldtrips

We are taking classes from Brooklyn Elementary and Airpark Elementary to Kus-kus-sum to learn about estuary ecology/function and to assist with stewardship.

Dyke Road Tidal Marsh Feature

The tidal marsh restoration project at Dyke Road Park hit another big milestone last spring – the completion of intertidal planting work.

Kus-kus-sum Fall Planting 2025

Volunteers are needed for native species planting at Kus kus sum! We will be planting the newly restored southern end of the site with over 4,000 native plants. No experience is necessary and we will provide all tools.
