Community Salmon
Program
Partnering to advance salmon recovery
PSF’s Community Salmon Program funds community-led and First Nations-led salmon recovery, emerging salmon leaders, and emergency restoration work.
In Victoria, Peninsula Streams Society leveraged PSF funding to restore tidal marsh ecosystems damaged by non-native Canada geese.
Geese can overgraze and trample marsh vegetation, threatening critical juvenile salmon habitats. With support from PSF, Peninsula Streams’ volunteers constructed eco-cultural fencing around creeks to keep the geese out, the vegetation in, and the salmon thriving.
