Formed in 1982 by a dedicated and concerned group of volunteers,
in 2007 we celebrated out 25th anniversary.
In 2007 BCCP staff completed a review of our records and summarized our results: In 25 years working with more than 36,000 volunteers, from 50 organizations and schools, we have:
- planted over 35,000 native trees and shrubs,
- planted almost 15,000 native plants (wildflowers, grasses, and aquatic plants),
- removed almost 100 tonnes of garbage from the creek,
- built and installed 120 bird boxes. Several school classes monitor the occupancy and use of the locally installed bird boxes,
- installed 2 snake hibernacula,
- removed exotic plant and tree species from 12 large sites,
- established bioengineering erosion control projects on 2 sites,
- constructed 3 wetlands in the watershed,
- constructed 500 meters of trails,
- and ongoing tree, shrub and native plant maintenance programs were established.
