Nestled in a quiet, shady corner of Vancouver’s Pleasant Valley Park is a small, log-strewn pond that now offers refuge for juvenile salmon and steelhead within the Salmon Creek watershed.
It is a project that was started in 2011, but never quite worked out as planned.
However, the project was brought back to life this past weekend, through the hard work of a partnership of local conservation groups, and a crew of hardy volunteers.
