In today’s climate of Provincial and Federal Environmental agency limitations locally led groups who know “The Place Where We Live” are perfectly poised to address the challenges of increasing watershed development. In addition, we have been successful in advocating for and participating in the remediation of historic impacts, thus leading the charge for local watershed and river protection for future generations.

SWSS has been the backbone for environmental conservation in the Salmo River Watershed since 1998. Members have taken an active interest in preserving and enhancing local and regional waterways by forming collaborative partnerships. We promote awareness of threatened fish and wildlife in our watershed and in the Canadian Columbia Basin. We produce scientific studies, monitor our water resources, are involved in wetland and river habitat restoration, offer employment opportunities for youth and others, provide education and resources to the public, and are advocates for the environment and natural systems conservation.
