Trout Lake, is a highly utilized urban ecosystem that hosts many waterfowl, songbirds, bats and amphibians. Currently, the lake is lacking nesting and foraging opportunities for waterbirds and other wildlife, and has poor water quality in the summer months.
Since 2018 we have been slowly restoring the riparian area surrounding Trout Lake with the help of our friends at Echo Ecological to increase habitat value for wildlife and to educate local community members about the value of wetlands. |

MacKay Marsh is a large freshwater pond located in a highly developed area within the District of North Vancouver. This area has been impacted by industry, pollution, illegal dumping, and the encroachment of invasive species. The invasion of noxious plants has negatively impacted water quality and reduced habitat availability for fish and wildlife within the marsh.
With the help and support from Echo Ecological, we have put significant efforts towards restoring this area back to a healthy state in recent years, however there is always more work to be done! |

Malvern Park is a small green space with a lot of potential. It is the headwaters for Buckingham Creek, a tributary of Deer Lake and part of the Brunette River Watershed. This watershed is one of the few highly productive salmon habitats in the area, regularly seeing returns of chum and coho salmon and hosting populations of resident trout. Salmon continue to decline in population each year and require creeks with high water quality to spawn successfully. We will be working with volunteers to tackle the invasive species at this site and improve habitat quality which will benefit fish and wildlife.
