Eco-Cultural Restoration of the Campbell River Estuary

This multi-year eco-cultural restoration project builds on recent restoration efforts in the Campbell River estuary and will reduce erosion and provide greater resiliency during peak flows.

Indigenous fish weir techniques will be used to protect and restore vital estuary sedge marsh habitat. Alder and willow fencing will help exclude Canada geese from the site and protect the tidal channel-edge habitat. Sites will be prepared for transplanting Lyngbye’s sedge.
