Centre Creek Work Party!

Located in the north end of the City of  Surrey, this 7.7 hectare (19 ac.) conservation area protects a portion of Centre Creek and other small brooks, which meander through the dense coastal western hemlock forest and out into the lower Fraser River. Together with the neighbouring protected areas, including the Surrey Bend Regional Park, the area plays an important role in a larger wetland complex, which provides rearing habitat for Pacific salmon, trout, and other native fish species.

Garbage and invasive species tend to be a common problem for conservation areas located in urban and residential areas. Join us for a productive afternoon work party, where we'll be bustin' up blackberry, removing garbage and debris that have been dumped in the area, as well as install some signs to help promote keeping this area clean. These are tasks that will require teamwork and enthusiasm!

Contribute to stewardship efforts happening right in your backyard! This is a new conservation area for the Nature Conservancy of Canada and these will be our first steps in restoring the habitat here. Keeping this area free of invasive plants and debris will provide space for native plants and wildlife.
