What We Do
Adopt A Stream Program

The Adopt a Stream Program focused on habitat restoration in the tributaries that flow into the Pugwash River.

This work included putting in digger logs to improve water flow and deepen pools, clearing culverts to allow fish to move freely, repairing fish ladders, and erecting fencing to keep cattle out of streams.

Adopt a Stream is funded and administered by the Nova Scotia Salmon Association. The Nova Scotia Youth Conservation Corp partially sponsored two students to help with all summer work.

Removing barriers to fish migration

Stabilizing stream banks

Enhancing natural water flow

These efforts helped support healthy fish populations and promote long-term ecosystem sustainability.
