Maintain natural stream conditions

• remove man-made litter from stream banks and beds
• leave natural materials undisturbed (nature is not always tidy)
• respect fish and other wildlife
• remove invasive plant species
• plant and encourage native species shrubs and trees near streams

• remind contractors working on your home and in your neighbourhood that storm drains empty into streams
• participate in Storm Drain Marking programs – the yellow fish is a reminder that storm drains flow into fish-bearing creeks
• warn others against putting harmful liquids that can drain into local streams such as cleaning compounds, detergents, oils, paints, pool and hot tub water

If you have an interest in a local stream we can provide support and information and direct you to resources.
