Racoons are becoming more common in Bowker Creek than ever before because of their high tolerance to pollution which is killing off the racoons predators allowing them to become more common in the Bowker creeks watershed.

This document will highlight the main locations along the creek for berry picking.

 

Salal is found in most areas around the creek. It is one the most healthy berries you can eat, even healthier than blueberries, strawberries, and cranberries. Salal contains much more antioxidants than blueberries. The flavor of these healthful berries has been described as an earthy cross between a blueberry and a blackcurrant.

 

Pacific Crab Apple is primarily found at the Monteith Street Gardens. It looks like a smaller version of an apple, and is also much more tart than a regular apple. First Nations were able to store these apples and make them sweeter. As well as this, they contain a lot of pectin, which allows them to easily be made into jams and jellies.
