At one time there were an estimated 100,000 salmon and sea-run trout spawning in the more than 50 creeks and streams that spread across the wilderness that today is Vancouver.

As the city grew they were buried beneath pavement and landfill, or were crowded out by development so that salmon could no longer spawn within them. One by one our streams were lost.

Amazingly Musqueam Creek survived. However, it too is under threat and in danger of being lost. It is our goal to ensure this never happens.

The Musqueam Ecosystem Conservation Society is a community based non-profit organization working through science and traditional ecological knowledge to conserve the full diversity of habitats and their species, within the Musqueam Ecosystem,         now and for future generations.
