Well Done Everyone! In collaboration with the CV Land Trust & Conservation Partnership and BC Parks Foundation we have protected a 122.5 acre property in Deep Bay. NALT's fundraising goal was $75K but with the support of our members and donors, and the Denman Conservancy Association we raised more than $105,000.
The 122.5-acre property sits beside an 83-acre property already protected by BC Parks Foundation. Together, the two properties will connect more than 4,300 acres of protected lands to Baynes Sound and nearby marine protected areas, creating a continuous conservation corridor from inland forests to the Salish Sea.

Did you know BC is one of the world's last strongholds for wild steelhead trout? 🐟
Nanaimo Magazine recently published a great piece by the Friends of Cottle Creek detailing the fascinating lifecycle of Vancouver Island's steelhead. Unlike other Pacific salmonids, some steelhead (mostly females) actually survive spawning, return to the ocean, and come back to spawn again years later!
Sadly, many Vancouver Island steelhead stocks have been in decline since the late 1990s and are major conservation concerns.
Friends of Cottle Creek is a committee of NALT. Their members have been very busy the last few years working on habitat assessments and monitoring the health of this stream and its population of Cutthroat trout.
👉 How to read the full article: Because Facebook blocks Canadian magazine links, you can read the whole story by searching Google for: "Vancouver Island Steelhead Trout – A Gift of Nature's Biodiversity Nanaimo Magazine"

Microsystems with NALT: Design and build your own potted native ecosystems

Join Biologist, Ecologist and Naturalist Jeremiah Kennedy on a guided walk through the Parnassian Woods to meet and visualize systems and plants, and then receive a practical demonstration on building local potted ecosystems. Participants will then build their own personal microsystems to take home with them. Clay (ceramic or terracotta) pots, native seed mix (from hyper-local seeds), soil, mulch, moss, wood, biochar and other important features of microsystems will all be provided.

Admission: $50/person

Strange days indeed!
Nanaimo normally sees around 102 millimetres of rain in October, but repeated sunny days have resulted in minimal precipitation thus far, with only 7.6 millimetres falling, or 7.4 per cent of our average as of Tuesday, Oct. 20.

NANAIMO - Unless some fall storms materialize soon, this month is shaping up to be one of the driest in the ci...

Last weekend we had a crew of over 20 community volunteers - young and old - helping to get our site ready for planting with the Frank Ney Elementary students. The work was tough, but the weather was beautiful and the company was great!

Why planting polygons? We build these polygons with logs and added soil to give our plants the best chance at survival. Caging against deer browse will help as well.
Hooray for Walley Creek and community stewardship

This project has been supported by the Pacific Salmon Foundation and City of Nanaimo Community Watershed Restoration grant.

We are looking for some extra hands to help with our restoration project tomorrow at Walley Creek.

We are meeting at the gravel parking lot by Harry Wipper Park (along Williamson) at 10am. Tools will be provided.

Help us restore this urban creek!
