Restoring salmon spawning habitat.
Improving community flood protection.
Thinking globally
Acting locally
We are a local initiative inspired by a global movement seeking regenerative, nature-based solutions for a harmonious coexistence with water. We’re working to restore ecosystems, revitalize natural processes, and foster sustainable relationships between people and water.
Chute Creek
Stewardship Society
Restoring in-stream and riparian ecosystem biodiversity employing nature-based solutions to regenerate salmon spawning habitat, while concurrently enhancing flood protection and community safety.
We are a ‘micro-example’ of a ‘macro-issue’.
Lower Chute Creek
Located in the beautiful southern Okanagan Lake valley of British Columbia on the traditional, unceded and ancestral territories of the Syilx First Nations people, our project involves the restoration of lower Chute Creek where it flows across the alluvial fan and enters into the Okanagan Lake. Chute Creek is part of the Columbia River watershed that drains into the northern Pacific Ocean.
“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”
