Fee Creek Salmon Spawning Channel Riparian Restoration Project Fee Creek Spawning and Rearing Channel Re-Vegetation Project Fee Creek Salmon Spawning Channel Riparian Restoration Project Prepared for: University of Victoria Restoration of Natural Systems Diploma Program ER- 390 Selected Project Prepared by: Kathy Jenkins Student # - 0135005 February, 2008 Fee Creek Spawning and Rearing Channel Re-Vegetation Project ABSTRACT In 1991, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans created a spawning and rearing system beside the Birkenhead River to enhance habitat for Coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) salmon primarily. The stocks of salmon from the Fraser River salmon runs had been declining since the 1970’s and there were efforts undertaken around the province to change this pattern of decline. A fish hatchery was built near the Fee Creek spawning channel before this development. The channel was designed to help enhance the salmon population more naturally; through increasing important habitat and to use the area in coordination with the hatchery for increased hatchery success... The DFO created a series of ponds and riffles to provide both spawning and rearing habitat for salmon and the area has been maintained since and has provided a healthy habitat for salmon. Fee Creek is currently used not only for important reproduction habitat but also for educational purposes. As part of the Department of Fisheries Salmonids in the Classroom program children are brought to the area to learn about the life cycle of salmon and their importance in our ecosystems. The Fee Creek re- vegetation project was developed to restore an area of the system that had been destroyed by BC Hydro clearing during their routine power line protection. The objectives of the Fee Creek re-vegetation project were to restore the vegetation to provide continued healthy habitat for salmon, repair degraded bridges that provide access for schoolchildren and to provide an educational opportunity to teach students about the salmon life cycle and the importance of restoration activities such as these. Some different aspects of this project were identifying landscape characteristics in order to determine suitable vegetation for planting, designing bridges, sourcing materials for new bridgework to enhance safety for schoolchildren, and finally identifying an educational opportunity to combine with the restoration activity. The project was successful in reaching its objectives and early monitoring has shown a good recovery of the habitat in the area as well as increased safety for schoolchildren.

It consists of a series of ponds and riffles that connect to the Birkenhead River by way of a fish ladder and tributary. The area was first engineered by the Department of Fisheries (DFO) and the Pemberton Sports Wildlife Association in 1991. (Naylor, 2005) As soon as the system was created the ponds were stocked with Coho fry that over wintered and migrated in the spring. There was also a separate holding pond for the release of Chinook fry from the hatchery. The project reflected a change in emphasis from the reliance on a hatchery program to a more natural and less costly habitat improvement project, with public involvement being an important factor. Each year fry were released into the ponds and both spawners and smolts were counted to track success. It is also used currently as an educational site as part of the DFO Salmonids in the Classroom program to teach school children about the importance of habitat protection and the life cycle of anadromous fish. Fee Creek is a valuable addition to the Birkenhead River system from an ecological, cultural and educational perspective and for this reason, it is necessary to ensure that it remains to be an in tact and healthy habitat to provide spawning and rearing availability for Chinook and Coho. BC Hydro lines run above Fee Creek and through ordinary thinning to reduce hazards to power lines, a section of the vegetation that provides important shade to the spawning channel was cleared. The Fee Creek Spawning Channel re- vegetation project was created to restore the stream bank with vegetation that would provide adequate cover for juvenile

    Tourism Pemberton Strategic Plan – 2021 - 2023 Executive Summary Tourism Pemberton is committed to fostering sustainable, responsible tourism that benefits the residents of the Village of Pemberton and Area C of the Squamish Lillooet Regional District (SLRD). Through effective management of available resources, Tourism Pemberton is committed to delivering measurable results in three strategic areas: #1 - Effective Destination Marketing Invest in marketing campaigins to grow shoulder season visitation to those visitor experiences having capacity for growth #2 - Strong Relationships and Partnerships Build relationships and partnerships to leverage marketing investments, enhance the destination experience and maximize ROI #3 - Responsible Destination Management Together with various partners, invest in infrastructure and its maintenance to benefit visitors and residents and create remarkable experiences for all Each of these three strategic areas is described more fully below: Destination Marketing Tourism Pemberton will invest in targeted marketing campaigns and events that promote reasons to visit outside of peak season when the accommodation sector has low occupancies and infrastructure and visitor experiences have unused and available capacity. In this way, Tourism Pemberton will contribute to reducing the peaks and valleys that business operators currently experience and will foster economic resilience and community sustainability. Prepared By: Cadence Strategies, October 2020 www.cadencestrategies.com 1 Tourism Pemberton’s focus will be on shoulder season experiences including: Spring/fall touring Spring/fall/winter weddings Spring/fall corporate groups seeking unique activities Spring/fall mountain biking Winter snowmobiling Winter backcountry touring Pemberton and Area C accommodation as an alternative to Whistler for downhill skiing enthusiasts Relationships and Partnerships Tourism Pemberton recognizes that there is much to be gained by working in mutually beneficial partnerships.

  • CHAPTER 20 Holocene Human Occupation and Use of the Slapus
    CHAPTER 20 Holocene Human Occupation and Use of the Slapus/Lelachen Locality in the Lower Lillooet River Valley Adrian J. Sanders Rhizome Cultural Heritage Research and Consulting Peter Merchant University of British Columbia Introduction and Background periphery of the Coast and Interior Plateau Salish worlds, a The Lower Lillooet River valley was far from a cultural “transitional zone between the Northwest Coast and Interior side-show to the Lower and Central Fraser River, and Salish Plateau Culture Areas” (Ferguson and Brolly 2011:7); a Sea nexus. Rather, it appears that in terms of longevity and place from which people migrated to the core of cultural intensity of occupation, it rivaled its more celebrated homelands following the catastrophic epidemics of the 18th neighbors to the south, and north/northeast. This chapter and 19th centuries (Carlson 2010:98-99). addresses this fact by drawing on oral traditions, historic and ethnographic accounts, and results of four archaeological projects conducted at the supra-village locality of Slapus, Lelachen and Quqéwelq (Figure 1) between 1999 and 2013 (Hudson and DePaoli 1999; Hudson 2000, 2001, 2003; Wells et al. 2009; Ferguson and Brolly 2011; Sanders and Merchant 2016). Accumulated data suggests that the cultural landscape comprising this locale was continuously and intensively occupied from the early Holocene through the colonial era, and into the present, situating this primary supra-village among the most significant archaeological complexes within the Salish world. We maintain that the Lower Lillooet was a key foci of Salishan cultural florescence, and there is much to benefit through reconsidering the ways in which this nexus was complimentary to those in the Middle and Lower Fraser River and Salish Sea, which to date, espouse the accepted cultural development narrative.
