Find out about the activities of the Bowker Creek Initiative (BCI) at this location.
Oak Bay High School Bowker Creek Restoration Project
The physical reconstruction of the creek channel was completed in 2015, complete with a meandering channel with riffles, small islands and lots of native riparian vegetation on the creek bank. Oak Bay High School students now have an outdoor classroom, and the community has a beautiful naturalized greenway to use.
Volunteer Opportunity
We could use your help - while most of the native plants at the site are thriving, so are the weeds! The restoration site became overgrown with invasive weeds by summer 2017, and we are holding several work parties to get the weeds under control:
Friday, October 20, 9am - 12pm
Friday, November 3, 9am - 12pm
Friday, November 17, 9am - 12pm
Friday, November 24, 9am - 12pm
If you come by car, park at the Oak Bay Rec Centre and walk behind the tennis bubble to find the site.
Gloves, tools and snacks provided.
