SUMMARY:Riparian Restoration – Streamside Stewardship Partners Program
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of restoring the riparian area along Bings and Menzies Creeks. Through our Streamside Stewardship Partners Program we are working with private landowners along our watersheds creeks to help restore and enhance riparian function through invasive removal and native species planting. You can expect to learn about riparian areas\, invasive and native species and restoration processes. \nIf you would like to hear a little bit more about this event or would like to join us\, please email us at phaedra@somenosmarsh.com.

SUMMARY:It starts everywhere: Understanding the Xwulqw'selu watershed as a groundwater-dependent ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 17th | 7-8:30pm | VIU Cowichan – Lecture Hall 140\, 2011 University Way\, Duncan | FREE\n\n\nGroundwater and surface water are deeply interconnected. In the Xwulqw’selu Sta’lo’ (Koksilah River)\, flows are predominantly sustained by groundwater in the summertime. River flows are important to whole-of-watershed health\, and one of the Cowichan Watershed’s Targets is for “seasonal flows throughout the Cowichan-Koksilah watershed to support the needs of communities and aquatic ecosystems”.\n\n\nThis month’s talk will dive into just this\, discussing how\, through community monitoring with over 70 volunteers taking over 4000 observations from 2021-2024\, the UVic Xwulqw’selu Connections Project\, and the community of volunteers supporting this project\, have mapped where and when groundwater is critical to maintaining ecosystem health in the Xwulqw’selu watershed.\n\n\nThis month’s speaker\, Kristina Disney\, is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Victoria. She has been studying groundwater-surface water interactions and learning alongside the community(s) of the Xwulqw’selu watershed since 2021. To the river and to the people who call this watershed home\, she hopes she can give back in equal measure the care she has been shown.\n\n\nJoin us on Monday\, November 17th to hear what Kristina and the community(s) of the Xwulqw’selu watershed have learned from 4 years of community monitoring in the Xwulqw’selu watershed! Attendance\, as always\, is free. We hope to see you there!\n\n\nThis Speakers Series is hosted by the Cowichan Watershed Board\, with the support of VIU Cowichan and funding from the Watershed Security Fund.\n\n\nPhotos in header image provided by Shalu Mehta and Bryant LeRoy.
