We are on the final stretch of our two-year Friends of Cowichan Creeks project which began in November 2010. We have been working to monitor, protect, and enhance creeks throughout the Cowichan Region by facilitating the work of streamkeeper groups. On this page, you will find links to courses we have offered and pictures from some of our streamkeeper events and work parties.
