‘Rain Gardens & Salmon’

Presentation by Deb Jones, Cougar Creek Streamkeepers, Delta BC. July 6, 2022 Davis Bay Hall, Sechelt BC

The quality of water is paramount to their survival. Incorporating water conservation methods is more important than ever due to the longer, drier summers we are experiencing here on the Sunshine Coast, BC. Rain Gardens are a way to preserve water and also filter out toxic chemicals that bring harm not only salmon, but the whole ecosystems of creeks, lakes and the ocean. The presenter answered the following questions: What’s is a rain garden? How can installing a rain gardens help storm water drainage? Where does all the “stormwater runoff” from roads and parking lots (impervious surfaces) go? How does a rain garden help salmon? This event was made possible from a grant from Neighbourhood Small Grants.
