1st Street South and 15th Avenue South Project

The Cranbrook 1st & 15th project rebuilt the Joseph Creek channel, expanded the floodplain, removed invasive species and restored native vegetation to reduce floods and improve fish habitat, with multi-agency approval and ongoing monitoring; initial setbacks from deer browse and drought gave way to a successful rooted native-stock trial and expanded plantings.

Habitat Banking & The Diversion Project

The Diversion Project advances habitat banking and native-vegetation restoration along Joseph Creek near Phillips Reservoir, aiming to offset ecological harm, reduce water temperatures to protect native fish like the Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and build biodiversity, resilience, community engagement, and adaptive management.
