The Kingfisher Creek watershed was chosen as a demonstration watershed by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks (MELP) and Forest Renewal British Columbia (FRBC) in order to advance the techniques utilized within the Watershed Restoration Program (WRP). It is located in the Interior Cedar–Hemlock biogeoclimatic zone east of Enderby, B.C., approximately midway between Calgary, Alberta and Vancouver, B.C. The impacts throughout this area include the removal of riparian vegetation, input of sediment, exaggeration of the hydrologic regime, loss of in-stream large woody debris (LWD), and disconnection of the main channel from its floodplain. Fish species affected include anadromous coho, chinook, and sockeye salmon; resident rainbow and bull trout; and adfluvial rainbow trout populations from both Mara and Mabel lakes. The restoration works completed include: the development of a side channel near the confluence with the Shuswap River to restore spawning and rearing habitat...
