Habitat Restoration Projects

Volunteers are the key to the success of our habitat enhancement planting projects! The Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society has been active in many projects including work at the Little Campbell River Estuary, Blackie Spit and as part of the City of White Rock Foreshore Restoration at East Beach.

Funding to assist with our restoration projects is graciously provided by Nature Canada, Important Bird Areas program. This is a program of Birdlife International and it is co-managed by Nature Canada and Bird Studies Canada!

Friends of Semiahmoo Bay Society is currently involved in numerous habitat restoration projects. Please visit these linked pages for more details on each project:
