Yucwmenlúcwu (Caretakers of the Land) LLP is using sensitive habitat inventory mapping to establish baseline conditions of the Salmon River. This data will be used to further the long-term goal of reversing the historical trend pertaining to fish habitat degradation marked by lost riparian vegetation, eroding streambanks, high summer temperatures, low water levels, sediment buildup, declining salmon stocks and other issues in the Salmon River. This project supports eight jobs. (Photo: Picture BC / Flickr)

Cowichan Tribes is working with community partners to gather data and scope options for a water sustainability plan for Xwulqw’selu Sto’lo (the Koksilah River) watershed.
