Pacific Salmon Foundation supports citizens to become active in their backyard streams which in turn, leads to active, engaged citizens who are part of a self-determined community needed to address the complex issues facing salmon at the local, provincial and federal level. The Community Salmon Program (CSP) supports stewards who volunteer thousands of hours each year to monitor watersheds, develop and implement rehabilitation projects, educate and inform their community and advocate for the conservation and protection of our shared resource - salmon. Relevance to Guardian Watchmen programs: Habitat assessment, habitat rehabilitation, stewardship and community planning, and stock assessments.

Environment Fund Priority Areas for 2011 to 2014: From 2011 to 2014, there will be a particular focus on freshwater and habitat protection. In 2011, the Environment Committee grants budget is approximately $500,000. Approximately one-third of the budget will be targeted towards each of the two priority areas. The remaining third is available for requests that meet our general environmental goals. Multi-year requests related to the priority areas are encouraged and evaluation will be supported. We will likely only support two to three multi-year projects in each area. In the area of freshwater, we are interested in strategies that strive for the long-term sustainability, protection and resilience of water quality and flows. In the area of habitat protection & conservation, we are interested in strategies that offer opportunities for broad community participation and engagement in development of solutions, whether in marine or land-based ecosystems. Possible relevance to Guardian Watchmen programs: Environmental education and community outreach, stewardship activities, implementing and monitoring EBM plans, training programs. |
