The Ghost Watershed Alliance Society (GWAS) is a watershed stewardship group working collaboratively to improve watershed health. High sediment run-off rates from a large network of roads and trails and a loss of riparian vegetation due to the many stream crossings are major issues impacting the Ghost watershed. To prevent sediment from reaching streams, GWAS will be restoring riparian areas using bio-engineering techniques and engaging volunteers. The project goal is to reduce the number of sites in need of restoration. This project will be carried out in partnership with Trout Unlimited Canada, Cows and Fish and involving recreational user groups.
