Our Vision The Fraser Watershed is the most resilient watershed

in the world, with salmon flourishing in rivers and

people flourishing in rivershed communities.

The Fraser River is currently being threatened by:

• climate change;

• habitat destruction;

• pollution;

• resource use.

The Rivershed Society of BC is working

to Conserve, Protect and Restore the Fraser

Watershed within a generation. We are looking

for Watershed Champions to work with us.
