Our Mission

At Peninsula Streams Society, our registered charity’s mission is to build a legacy of healthy streams and shorelines. We envision a future where everyone knows, respects, and protects their local streams and shorelines, fostering a deep connection between communities and their natural environments.

Our Approach

Guided by our three foundational pillars—Ecological Restoration, Environmental Education, and Community Stewardship—we take a holistic, grassroots approach to stream and shoreline restoration. Our work is driven by a watershed and ecosystem-level perspective, with Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus) species (including coastal cutthroat trout) as well as intertidal spawning species of forage fish (surf smelt, Pacific sand lance, and herring) serving as focal and umbrella species that guide our restoration efforts.

We are committed to integrating our pillars through innovative programming, fostering collaboration, and sharing capacity to achieve shared environmental goals. We provide our partner groups with shared capacity in many forms, including expertise, funding, equipment, volunteers, and more.
