Behind the Push to Bring Salmon Back to Bowker Creek
A volunteer-led effort to reintroduce salmon into the Bowker Creek watershed after a 100-year absence is nearing its moment of fruition. After over a decade of habitat restoration, members of Friends of Bowker Creek and the Peninsula Streams Society have planted 30,000 chum salmon eggs into the creek, with hopes of seeing the waterway returned to its former pre-industrialized state. To find out how they got there, what happens next, and what salmon would mean to the area, we pay a visit to the creek and speak with restoration coordinator Kyle Armstrong.
