Join our backyard bird counts and the yearly Christmas Bird Count,  which has been held in Kitimat for over 40 years.

FISH
​

We assist Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) in monitoring the health and well-being of streams and creeks. Learn how to take monthly water samples with us and protect salmon habitat.

Help us identify blocked culverts, rock slides, and other obstacles for salmon. Take a picture of the area and send it to us.

If you have a boat and are willing to help out, we also assess eelgrass beds in the Douglas Channel.

The Northern Amphibians Naturalists Society (NANS) monitors several salamander boards in Kitimat. We partner with NANS in their monthly checks during the summer.
