Protecting & Preserving Waterways on Vancouver's North Shore

We are a volunteer organization focused on monitoring and improving streams & waterways. Find out how you can help us on our mission

Our initiatives help ensure our waterways survive & thrive

Our activities include monitoring the abundance and health of salmon populations, removing invasive plants, educating the local community and the next generation on issues related to stream habitat and more.

How We Protect Our Waterways

Learning to live in harmony with our environment, fostering respect and protection of our resources are at the heart of the North Shore Streamkeepers and the many projects we undertake

Removing Invasive Plants

We periodically gather volunteers to help us remove invasive plants and replace them with native ones, ensuring a healthy ecosystem.

Monitoring & Improving Salmonid Populations

By monitoring the abundance and health of returning salmonids, we can work with hatcheries and local governments to protect, enhance & restore salmon populations.

Educating Local Communities

We regularly run community workshops as well as organize field trips for students to build awareness and raise important issues related to waterway preservation.
