Symbiotic Relationship between Native and Invasive Plantsinvasive plants affect the health and population of native plants and benefit the environment by keeping native plant's numbers in control by feeding off of native plants. (creeping buttercup: ranunculus repens)

 native plants of BC (also in Bowker creek) maple bigleaf, sword fern, snowberry and salal    

Above you will see the tolerance levels of the Coho Salmon compared to Bowker Creek's levels.  The levels above are the maximum amount of levels that a Coho Salmon can tolerate.

The idea to restore Bowker Creek began to bloom several years ago.

If and when the Coho Salmon return, we hope that the millions eggs they lay will not be harmed so the Salmon community can thrive once more in Bowker Creek.

The categories in the photo are the essential conditions and molecular substances needed in a thriving aquatic environment. To the right of them are the levels and amounts of these substances Bowker Creek has. (ppm = parts per million)

The creekbed took a lot of design, research and thought. These curves benefit smaller creatures, by providing small areas for them to find shelter from the current. This supports more life in the stream. When the water rises, it flows in a predetermined way, purposefully designed for better flow and to reduce plant uprooting.
