A Holistic Approach to Watershed Management
A Holistic Approach to Watershed Management
RESTORATION. MONITORING. EDUCATION. COMMUNITY.
The Squamish River Watershed Society takes a holistic approach towards watershed management, examining the mountainous headwaters down to the estuary into Átl’ka7tsem/Howe Sound.
Since 1998 we have been committed to enhancing and preserving the integrity of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh/Squamish Watershed, focusing on key environmental factors and human influences.
We are a project-based organization that engages in watershed restoration, education and outreach, community stewardship, and monitoring programs.
We are a registered, charitable, environmental non-profit.

Replacement Culvert #1 starts Sept 16, 2024
Road closure Sept 16-Nov. 15, 2024
Culvert #1 replacement starts Monday, September 16 and will continue until mid November. The road to the river dyke will be closed to the public for safety during the construction phase.
This work is similar to the replacement of two other culverts in 2019 and 2020 where two undersized culverts we're replaced with large fish-friendly concrete box culverts. Looking forward, the project plans to replace one more undersized culvert in Spring or fall 2025.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.
