The Kus-kus-sum project is getting "close to the finish line," says Restoration and Monitoring Manager Jeff Skinner.
Skinner will be speaking on July 19, giving people an update on the project during the Comox Valley Project Watershed Society's Annual General Meeting.
"We’re looking forward to sharing our progress over the past year and the final steps to completion, including the long-awaited removal of the steel wall,” Skinner said.
The society's AGM will be held on July 19, from 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. at the Comox Valley Regional District Civic Room, 770 Harmston Avenue, Courtenay. The event will include the presentation from Skinner, as well as more information about other projects that the society has undertaken in the valley.
“It’s been another exciting year of growth at Project Watershed,” says Caitlin Pierzchalski, Executive Director at the organization. “We've continued to make progress with the Kus-kus-sum Project and our forage fish work, while also launching two new restoration and research projects.”
The other projects include salt marsh restoration at Dyke Road Park, eel grass planting at Gartley Point, water quality monitoring in local streams, and forage fish research in the Salish Sea. There will be beverages and snacks from Edible Island to satiate taste buds.
