Nelson Creek Estuary Enhancements
Grant Program: Community Grants 2020
Funds: Ian and Rosemary Mottershead Fund
Grant Recipient: West Vancouver Streamkeepers
Project Goal: The goal of this project is to build a fish ladder at the mouth of Nelson Creek, to allow better access to spawning salmon. Nelson Creek was once a productive spawning stream but changes over the last 75 years have severely impacted fish access.
Impact: With the recent good weather (October) and favourable tides the installation of the fish ladder is now substantially complete and ahead of schedule.
