The Athabasca Watershed Council is looking for citizen scientists and volunteers to join the newly formed headwaters working group to help support the health and sustainability of the watershed!
The primary focus of the working group includes:
– Identify areas requiring fish and riparian habitat restoration
– Community-based monitoring for invasive species and aquatic health
– Hands-on restoration efforts, including native species planting and bank stabilization
– External outreach and education on responsible recreation and stream crossings
– Data collection, monitoring and research
To manage the water that we all depend on, we must manage the land that we share. To do that, lets work together to understand the issues, challenges, and opportunities affecting our watershed. The Athabasca Watershed Council works to bring stakeholders, citizens, and Indigenous Peoples together to effectively manage and sustain the Athabasca River Watershed.
