Chum Fry Release at Douglas Creek
Posted on May 16th, 2006 by Robert Bridgeman
The Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society invites you, with our
community partners, to transplant 30,000 chum fry into Douglas Creek
on Saturday May 20th, 2006 at 10:30am. We meet at the weir, which
can be accessed from Robinwood Drive. This is a great event for
parent or guardian supervised children.
The transplant is a part of the ongoing restoration of Douglas
Creek. Previous transplants are responsible for the return of chum
salmon to Douglas Creek where this spring, for the first time in
many years, chum salmon hatched naturally. This transplant will
supplement the natural production from the Creek which was heavily
impacted by an oil spill last fall.
Our community partners include Saanich Parks, Fisheries and Oceans
Canada, the Howard English Hatchery, Goldstream Salmon Enhancement
Society, Esquimalt Anglers, Pacific Salmon Federation, Pacific Forestry
Centre, Stream of Dreams, Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society
and friends of the Park.
If you need directions to the weir telephone Bob Bridgeman 477-7464
