Topping the Outdoor Recreation Council’s 2026 endangered rivers report:
The Cowichan and Heart of the Fraser.
Glimmers of hope: the acquisition of private lands along the Fraser for conservation and efforts to increase water storage on the Cowichan River.
🌀 Our #EstuaryResilience project is highlighted in a new Blue Paper from @DecadeHeritage and @HCAatEdinburgh that makes the case for embedding cultural heritage in all areas of ocean science and policy.
Culture connects communities, climate resilience, and coastal justice. 1/2
