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.
