About Us - Who We Are

Comox Valley Project Watershed Society was established in 1993 by a small group of citizens concerned by declining fish stocks, water quality, and urban development in local watersheds. Currently, the organization focuses on three program areas: Sensitive Habitat Stewardship, Baynes Sound Stewardship, and Wetlandkeepers/Streamkeepers. This document offers an introduction to these programs and to our past and present partners.

Project Watershed is a registered non-profit society with Canadian charitable tax status. The organization is guided by a volunteer board.

What is community watershed stewardship? It is people working together and acting upon their collective sense of responsibility to take care of local aquatic environments. Stewardship is essential to maintain the health and integrity of our environment and our community. Healthy watersheds require a long-term commitment from its organizations, its businesses, its government agencies, and especially, its citizens.
