Alouette River Management Society

Alouette River Management Society ARMS is an environmental non-profit organization committed to the protection & enhancement of the Alouette Watershed through stewardship & education.

The Alouette River Management Society (ARMS) is dedicated to proactively protecting and improving the Alouette Watershed and surrounding areas by creating a healthy environment connecting parks, trail systems, public centers and waterways. Volunteer supported, ARMS is involved in watershed inventory and monitoring, habitat restoration, public awareness and adopt-a-stream, liaising with all levels

of government and private land owners, and working towards the protection of aquatic habitat. ARMS offers environmental education programs including fieldtrips, classroom and habitat programs, and day camps. ARMS is currently advocating for a fish ladder over the Alouette Dam, connecting the river and lake after almost 90 years.

This year, we’re excited to welcome back local author Tiffany Stone, who will be switching out storytime with snakes and introducing children to her newest book Six Little Stix! 🐜📖

Children can get creative with fun insect-themed crafts inspired by the book. It’s the perfect mix of storytelling, nature, and hands-on fun!

🐟❤️ Something exciting is swimming your way tomorrow!

We’re officially launching our Adopt-a-Sockeye Salmon initiative in celebration of the 33rd annual Ridge Meadows Rivers Day! 🌊

These adorable, locally handmade crochet Sockeye salmon come with their very own adoption certificate — but they represent so much more than just a cute plushie. 🥹

Each one is a reminder of the incredible journey Pacific salmon take to return to their traditional spawning grounds and the importance of protecting the rivers and habitats they depend on.

✨ Only 50 Sockeye are available for adoption!

Our newsletter subscribers will be the first to receive the adoption link tomorrow at 7 PM, so make sure you’re signed up!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our August Adopt-a-Block cleanups in both Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge!

🧤 You gave your time.
🌱 You cared for your community.
🗑️ And you helped keep our local parks and natural spaces clean and healthy.

Every piece of litter removed makes a difference and we couldn't do it without the amazing volunteers who continue to show up and lend a hand. 🙌

Want to get involved in a future cleanup? Keep an eye on our page for upcoming Adopt-a-Block opportunities!

🌟 That’s a wrap on an amazing summer of Eco Camp! 🌟

As summer comes to an end, we want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us for six incredible weeks filled with laughter, adventures, creativity and plenty of camp fun! 💚

This summer, we explored:
🎮 2 weeks of Pokémon + Minecraft
🎲 2 weeks of Board Games
🐾 1 week of Wildlife
🚀 1 week of Space + STEAM

Our camp staff also picked some of their favourite moments from the summer:

🎲 Sara: “My favourite activity was during PlayQuest, our board game week. We played a life-sized version of Operation! Campers navigated an obstacle course blindfolded, guided by their teammates’ voices, then used tongs to collect cardboard ‘organs’ and make it back without touching the obstacles. It was so exciting to watch them work together, problem-solve and have fun!”

🚀 Noah: “My favourite activity was during Get STEAM’ed, our space week. Campers designed and play-purchased materials for a lunar egg-drop lander. It was so fun seeing them experiment, learn about budgeting and work together to create such creative designs!”

🌎 Izzy: “My favourite activity was making biospheres during Get STEAM’ed. We created little ecosystems using rocks, dirt, water and plant material. It was so cool to teach the kids about what makes life on Earth possible and explore what we need to survive through a hands-on outdoor activity.”

💚 A huge thank you to all our campers, families, volunteers and summer staff for making this summer so special!
