Ten years into a 100-year restoration plan, the narrative of Greater Victoria’s Bowker Creek is changing stream.
The creek is being viewed again as a resource for native plants, diverse wildlife and local residents.
“Despite having covered it up, urbanized it with all the hard surfaces in the watershed, it’s still here,” said Soren Henrich, director of the Friends of Bowker Creek Society. “Instead of just a ditch to move stormwater or carry away pollution out into the ocean, we’re looking at it as an environmental asset.”
