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.
