Seymour Creek, North Vancouver
The restoration of Seymour Creek Estuary in North Vancouver is also part of the Burrard Inlet Estuary Restoration project that began in 2013. Echo Ecological worked alongside the BCIT River's Institute in the completion of this project. Several in-stream log structures were created in this creek to provide habitat for spawning salmonid species. Intertidal grasses were planted to increase nutrient cycling within the ecosystem and native plants were placed along the Seymour spit to create habitat in the riparian area, which will benefit both in-stream species as well as community members who utilize the site for recreation.
