For a number of years now, many organizations, led by the Stave Valley Salmonid Enhancement Society, have been working towards acquiring and restoring the Silverdale Wetlands in Mission.  Because of their efforts, the site is now a protected jewel for the region. 

In 2008 the Coalition was able to secure $75,000 from the Environmental Enhancement Fund of the BC Ministry of Transportation for further restoration of these wetlands.  As a result of this project, we were able to restore over 500 m of productive side channel habitat and enhance several acres of mixed terrestrial habitat. Restoration will continue at the site as part of Highway 7 Compensation Project.
