River Works

River Works is a Vancouver Aquarium conservation program that inspires the stewardship of aquatic habitats through public involvement, monitoring activities, habitat restoration, educational experiences and community connections.

The program is instrumental in developing environmentally active citizens in the Fraser River estuary through workshops and field activities designed to promote direct action and natural environment enhancement. Each year, hundreds of volunteer hours are contributed towards the inventory, monitoring, and restoration of vital wetland habitats through school and community members who become engaged in positive environmental action.
Activities such as bird, vegetation, invertebrate, fish and amphibian surveys, industrial wood clean-ups, storm drain marking, water quality testing, native vegetation plantings, and bird and bat box installation and monitoring ensure the long-term health of River Works
