Beaufort Watershed Stewards

What We Do

Our Program Map summarizes our six science-based programs:

  1. bi-weekly monitoring of surface water quality in 20 creeks,
  2. flow monitoring at gauging stations (2) and with installed staff gauges (12)
  3. continuous monitoring of well water height in selected private and community wells,
  4. monitoring for tire toxin contamination in streams before and after rain events–lead by BC Conservation Foundation,
  5. assessing cumulative effects of human activity in selected watersheds. Five watersheds completed.
  6. mapping aquifers using vertical electric soundings, hydrogeological data and ArcGIS mapping

Outreach, fundraising, governance and health & safety round out our full slate of activities. Our amazing skilled and committed volunteers keep all this work going!
