Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - This broadcast opened with the Klahoose Singers chanting a blessing to the forest and the land in general, at the Forest Trust For The Children of Cortes Island Society AGM on Saturday, April 5, 2025. As many of you are aware, the Society was set up to try and obtain 624 acres of forest adjacent to Carrington Bay Regional Park on Cortes Island, that are currently managed by Mosaic. Around 40 people were present when Chair Chris Dragseth announced they were making progress in the negotiations for 261 acres. “The society's been in place for 15 years and we've been in serious discussions with Mosaic since 2019, about the operational issues around negotiating a fair market value for the properties. We've done some work jointly with Mosaic over this period of time. We've hired timber valuation companies and land valuation companies to come to a point where we've had what we feel is a fair market value for the property. The big step is coming up. We are probably going to be in a position in the very near future to actually make an offer. This will really be the key point for 2025,” he began. “Once that agreement is reached, the clock will start ticking because it will have a built in provision to allow us to do serious and significant fundraising over the coming months.” “We can't and are unable at this point to give the value yet because we haven't finalized the price with Mosaic, but it's my expectation and my hope that in the very near future we're going to be able to give you some very positive news. Then we'll start moving forward.” The Society intends to purchase another 363 acres that are not included in this initial purchase. Chris Dragseth: “There's still three properties that are not in the package right now. Those three parcels were put into the carbon capture by Mosaic, through the Big Coast Program, and they have another 20 years to unfold before those properties will come up for discussion. Those parcels will eventually become part of a longer term discussion. Once we take possession, probably in a year's time is what we're hoping for, then a longer term vision will be required.” Christine Robinson gave a slideshow of the property, what had taken place during the year, and an outline of the society's history. She asked, “I'm just curious, if you've been anywhere in the Children's Forest, just raise your hand.” It seemed like the whole room responded. Christine Robinson: “Lovely. We have a very familiar audience right now, all of you pretty much long term on Cortes, but it is a gem in the heart of Cortes.” As the audio quality was poor, here is a quick summary of her talk as written in the slideshow: The Children's Forest Trust was created in 2010 and would not have been possible without the expressed support of the Klahoose First Nation. These lands are ecologically significant and support 14 species at risk and the rare occurrences of 11 ecological communities. Cortes Island is part of the Discovery Islands Archipelago that forms a ‘bridge' between Mainland British Columbia and Vancouver Island and may provide important information on genetic diversity in species. The geographic location of the 50th parallel north marks the transition between the Coastal Douglas-fir and Coastal Western Hemlock bio geoclimatic zones. Important wildlife corridors are provided by landscape level ecological networks through the Children's Forest. In the last 12 years the Forest Trust For The Children of Cortes Island Society has delivered a strong youth nature based program that has become an important part of the youth culture on Cortes Island.

Final count for Cortes island's 2024 Chum run

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents -The final numbers for Cortes Island's 2024 Chum run are in. Local streamkeepers Cec and Christine Robinson gave a rundown. Christine Robinson: “I think we all know that this was a stupendous year for Chums up and down the coast. So not just Cortes, not just Quadra, not just the Sunshine Coast, but from the mainland all the way up to Alaska and down through to Puget Sound and I think possibly further south. The numbers on Cortes were the highest that we have seen since we've lived on Cortes, which is now 34 years.” Cec Robinson: “To put it in context, they're probably three times higher than the best years we've ever seen. So it was pretty huge.” Christine Robinson: “So it was very exciting and the interesting thing was that fisheries did not predict this. They were predicting a very low term return to the coast. They were caught off guard, and everybody probably was.” “The numbers that we keep are an approximation given that we don't have a fish fence across the creek that counts every fish. We've had a pretty high degree of accuracy, but there were so many fish that we couldn't count accurately this year. We did several bank walks, and at some point we stopped counting because we couldn't count - which is always what we hope for.” “All eight creeks that we have kept an eye on over the years had something to report this year. In Basil Creek, we have about 2,500 Chum.” Cec Robinson: “At least.” Christine Robinson: “At least, they were higher up in Basil Creek because as more came in the lower parts of the creek it pushed them higher up. So it extends the spawning area. Squirrel Cove Creek, which is a little creek around the corner of where the Klahoose village is, was a huge surprise. It often has no fish and it often has no water. We figured there were 350 Chum there one day. Another 300 were in Hansen Creek. In James Creek, flowing through the Children's Forest into Carrington Lagoon, there were 220 - which was tremendous. The exciting thing about Whaletown Creek is with the new arch culvert, they all got through easily and they were further up the creek than we have ever seen. There were probably a hundred. For the little Frabjous Day Creek, which flows into Cortes Bay, our best guess is 20. There were probably more, but they weren't counted in the stream so much as in the intertidal area. Manson's Lagoon was the lowest, seven were counted.” Cortes Currents: Have you heard any explanations as to why there were so many Chum this year? Cec Robinson: “I think that the consensus lies with ocean conditions and so the bottom line would be feed. I'm not sure why. I know that the El Nino was backing off and the waters were cooling, which certainly favours more food, but it's only in the last year that cooling has been taking place. Those fish were relying on the ocean for three and a half years, so I'm not sure that even the El Nino phenomenon explains that, but probably conditions at sea and most likely food.” Christine Robinson: “ The fisheries people that we talked to would say the oceanic conditions, the food, was so right that they came into the creeks bigger, stronger, healthier than we typically see. That was everybody's observation. That wasn't just us and streamkeepers. Everyone who came to look at the fish that we talked to said, we talked to said, ‘my gosh, they're big and they're strong. Certainly they're healthier than we've ever seen come in.”

First 2024 Egg Count from Basil Creek

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents -The final count for Cortes Island's 2024 Chum run is not yet in, but according to local streamkeeper Christine Robinson, “We have never seen a return like this during the 34 years we've lived on Cortes, but the phenomenon is up the coast as far as Alaska. It's not specific to Cortes and the Discovery Islands.” “It's down into Washington state as well,” added her husband and fellow streamkeeper, Cec Robinson. On Monday, November 18th, five Cortes stream keepers and a semi-retired DFO employee from Campbell River gathered in the Klahoose Hatchery to count this year's first egg take from Basil Creek. Christine Robinson: “Males and females were taken from the creek. The milk and the eggs were taken out and they were fertilized by hand. It happened twice this year because there were enough that came in.” Cec Robinson: “So ten pairs and then another fifteen pairs.” Cortes Currents: All of the eggs counted Monday were from those first 10 pairs. There were 24,949 eggs. 829 were dead, which leaves more than 24,000 live eggs. Assuming that there is a similar harvest from the remaining 15 females, the streamkeepers could have about 60,000 Chum eggs. Cec Robinson: “Today was shocking the eggs that we have in the Klahoose hatchery. Shocking, picking out the dead ones and counting what we've got. The shocking is a simple process of physically shocking the egg to break a little membrane inside any of the non viable eggs. This little membrane will fracture and when the water gets in, it turns the egg white. So you know which ones are not viable and you pick them out. So it's a case of counting or weighing the number of live and the number of dead. We want to know the percentage of the survival, how many eggs we've taken and the level of fecundity of the females. That's of all super interest to DFO.” “In this case it was terrific. The usual expectation is around 2,000 eggs per female. We took 2,500. These fish were extra big and extra healthy. The eggs actually are extra large. It all bodes well for the survival of these little guys. Now we know how successful we've been so far and what our potential is for stocking the creeks.” Cortes Currents: Do you usually have a number of eggs that die? Cec Robinson: “There's always some, I think 5% mortality is excellent and at this point we're under four (3.32%). There will be a few more over the next few days and we'll just keep picking out the ones that have turned white. It'll still be under 5%.” Cortes Currents: Do you have any idea how many salmon came up this year? Cec Robinson: “Our best guess would be easily 2,500 and there could be close to 3,000 - in Basil Creek alone.” Christine Robinson: "Not collectively on the island, I'm still totalling up." Cortes Currents: Given that this year's run seems to be shaping up to be two to three times larger than anything seen in recent memory, why bother taking eggs? Cec Robinson: “That's a darn good question. I'm sure nature does the job way better than we can, but it's happened twice in recent years that Basil Creek has had a massive flooding that essentially blasted most of the eggs out of the creek or buried them. If the fish are unfortunate enough to have that happen again, this year we've got a bit of a reserve. The other thing we can do is use some of these eggs in the less productive streams. So, in Whaletown Creek, James Creek or Carrington Creek. Some of them will go there, and those streams are the ones that could definitely do with a larger run.”

The Chum return to Basil Creek

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - The Chum started returning to Basil Creek a week ago. To an inexperienced eye, the water levels seemed too low on the 16th, but dozens of large salmon were progressing upstream beyond the culvert. Christine Robinson said that she and her husband Cec had seen them the previous day. That was when we agreed to do this interview. “We know it's the big year in their four year cycle. Chum primarily have a four year cycle, a few of them three, and a few of them five, but the majority have a four year cycle. In 2020, four years ago, approximately 1100 fish came back to Basil Creek. Four years prior to that, in 2016, there were about 1100. We're not alone in this. All the creeks are in a similar cycle. Basil Creek, of course, is the main stream on Cortes for salmon return. So we're optimistic that it should be a big year this time,” explained Cec Robinson, one of the principal Streamkeepers on Cortes Island. “Just a few weeks ago, Fisheries was anticipating a very poor return, based on their test fishery. They couldn't find them and they thought that they weren't there, but the Chum pulled a lovely surprise. They were somewhere, and here they come. Lots of Chum have been spotted.” “They are so full of energy when they first come in, they're all excited. They're above average size this year, too. Beautiful, strong, big fish, nicest we've ever seen. That's also encouraging because the larger fish have more eggs and, also, larger fish eggs. It bodes well for the survivability of their offspring.”

On the Origins of the Cortes Community Wolf Project

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - There was an increasing number of wolf sightings and encounters on Cortes Island during the closing months of 2008. A number of posts in the Tideline over the course of the next two years mention 'an awful lot of them on the island, in an awfully short time.' There were mixed reactions. A Squirrel Cove resident wrote that 15 ran through one of their neighbours yards at 4 AM. Someone had a 'magical encounter' with a large black wolf, standing on the foot bridge over the channel connecting Gunflint and Hague Lakes, as she paddled through with her canoe. Another resident reported that three wolves killed her dog, only 70 feet from her house.   More than 150 people gathered in the Linnaea School, on January 17, 2009, when local biologist Sabina Leader Mense brought in two experts to share their experiences with wolves. Conservation Officer Ben York thanked the audience for bringing him in to discuss the situation, rather than put an animal down. He also stated that some of the wolves on Cortes ‘are very habituated' and ‘˜there is a level of tolerance for these animals that is endangering them.'   The other expert was Bob Hansen, a wildlife/human conflict specialist in the Pacific Rim National Reserve.   Hanson was also one of the principle speakers at the recent Wildlife Coexistence Gathering on Cortes Island. He explained that prior to receiving Sabina's invitation, his attention was primarily focused on the Pacific Rim community.   "I was approached by another champion, Sabina, because she'd heard about the Wild Coast Project."   "So now we're taking a step away from the West Coast. We were really laser focused. I was hesitant, and the management team was really hesitant, like - 'you want to leave the park and go over to the other side of the island?' They did agree, and the only stipulation they made was that the CO service had to be here as well."   "It turned out our other champion, Ben York, was the CO. We'd worked together on Bear Aware in our area and he'd taken a new posting. By this time Ben had married Crystal.” (Laughter)   (In the first article of this series, Hansen described Crystal McMillan as a force of nature in the Ucluelet area. Her Bear Aware group was so effective that she received a Premier's Award. She insisted that all of her partners and collaborators also be recognized. So Premier Gordon Campbell presented the award to a group of people that included Crystal, Bob Hansen and Ben York.)   "So Ben and Crystal came to our first Cortes get-together in 2009. That was a huge learning experience, and out of that came the Wolf Primer. You were working on the whole idea of identifying and getting to know individual wolves and understanding which wolves were behaving in which ways."   Some of the wolves were drawn by the sheep carcasses at the back of Blue Jay Lake Farm. During his slideshow presentation, Hanson praised the farmer for his innovative solution.   Ben Hansen: "Under that blue tarp is a giant hill of moldering hay, and he started disposing of his carcasses with that. It's super hot, they break down really quickly, no more issues with the wolves patrolling for dead sheep."   "That led to the more in depth workshop in two years, where Grace SoftDeer, ourselves and Ben York came, along with some of the researchers from the Wild Coast Project. We stayed at Christine Robinson's place. That was the storytelling workshop, another really rich experience."

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - The Cortes Island Academy's school year is over. Graduation was on January 25. Executive Director, Manda Aufochs Gillespie, just gave Cortes Currents an overview of the 2023/24 semester and a peek into the year that just about to begin.  “This year, the Cortes Island Academy was a lot of fun. We learned a lot from our first year. So this year we really got to just revel in the model, the awesome kids and local knowledge holders that came out to make this year happen. It felt to me like a lot more fun, and a lot less trailblazing,” she began.  “Some of the highlights included the students got to a week at the incredible science laboratories of the HACI Institute with some of the HACI Institute's incredible research and science staff. It's a once in a lifetime experience that these students had, every single one of them. They also got to work with people from the mother tree network and work alongside Dr. Briony Penn, who's well known for her work with all sorts of things that relate to understanding the stories, flora, the fauna of our particular area. They got to be part of this mycoblitz that the Children's Forest put on, that had different mycologists from all around the region - including our local Paul Stamets. It was a really beautiful year too with Klahoose participants. We had a number of different Ayajuthem (Éy7á7juuthem) language opportunities. Students got to participate in our first language trail that the Children's Forest helped curate. They identified different plant species all along this Sea to School Trail, drew the plants and wrote the names.”  “Really, really fun, neat projects and this doesn't even get into the culminating projects that the students did. If anybody has not yet seen them, I recommend enough going to the Cortesislandacademy.ca website and looking there at their videos. They did five videos this year with different Cortes elders.” (Jessie Louie, Duane Hansen, Nori Fletcher, Elizabeth Anderson and Christine Robinson.) “These are incredible short documentaries about the people in our community and some of the little known stories of what brought them here, who they are, et cetera. They are really, really beautiful. You will not regret watching them.” “They also participated in creating podcasts this year again. They're playing right now on Cortes Radio, CKTZ 89. 5 FM, but you can also listen to them all on the Cortes Island Academy website. Incredible pieces, everything from the wolf issue on Cortes and what we can do to live alongside wolves to what it means to live with dyslexia, or to question gender identity, et cetera. I really hope people will check it out.” “Other projects that they participated in this year, with many of the scientists previously mentioned and, some of the local knowledge holders and local naturalists like our field guides Kai Harvey and Tosh Harvey who grew up on the island. The students each made their own Cortes field guides.” Manda Aufochs Gillespie: You can see all the edible berries an Cortes: what they look like, what they're called, what you can do with them. Many of the mushrooms that could be found here and what you can do with them et cetera. These are pieces that you would spend a great deal of money to buy and they're just there, for free, on our website.”  “I would also actually throw out that this year the Cortes Island Academy did a really cool thing that I was very excited about, which was to host the fall ‘Folk U' radio series. Many of them were hosted at the Cortes Island School building. I heard a lot from members of the community how much they deeply appreciated being able to spend a little bit of time with teenagers, hearing what's on their minds and being part of learning together.”

Kim Paulley/ CKTZ News - The 33rd annual general meeting (AGM) for the Friends of Cortes Island fell on Giving Tuesday which prompted the organization's plan to launch a fundraiser for $10,000. The non-profit is hoping that the $10,000 can support core FOCI programs and the environmental work they do on the island. At the AGM on Nov. 28, a video featured five FOCI Projects in action, out in the field, with a project overview by project leaders to contextualize the project. CKTZ spoke with Helen Hall, executive director of FOCI, at the AGM and she described how in the past project leaders spoke about their project at the business meeting, but this year they wanted to do things differently, keep the meeting to an hour and serve up a meal along with a video showing the projects rather than just telling about them. “Often we are out in the wilds and people aren't seeing what we're doing. We thought doing something visual would be a really good thing to do,” stated Hall. This was part of several new ideas at this year's AGM, including a first ever annual report. “I wanted to put things in numbers and step back a bit and look at what we do," Hall said. For example, every month of the year we are maintaining 19 kms of trails. We also have 150 people involved in our volunteer projects, from beach clean-ups to counting fish. And we have a 147 different monitoring activities!” After Hall delivered the Financial Report, discussion ensued regarding Climate Action being under FOCI's umbrella. Christine Robinson, one of the Streamkeeping project leaders, described climate action as being essential to FOCI's work. Hunt responded that it all comes down to resources. “I work four days a week but we could easily employ four more people. We are asking for $10,000 but we actually need another 50 or 60,000 dollars a year.”

Recent Sightings: Co-existing with wolves on Cortes Island

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - There've been reports of Wolf sightings on Cortes island, which actually isn't too surprising.  “We're incredibly lucky to have wolves on Cortes. They've disappeared on a lot of the other islands. This is one of the last islands in the Salish Sea with wolves on it. Obviously we want to do everything we can to make sure that they can carry on living here, and that we can coexist alongside them,” explained Helen Hall, Executive Director of the Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI).  Christine Robinson added, "In an increasingly busy technological world, the beauty of wild spaces and wild creatures that are not impacted by human development is increasingly rare and it's a beautiful thing, just a beautiful experience."  CC: How long have wolves and humans been peacefully coexisting on Cortes Island?  Christine: "There are stories of some of the early white settlers who were farmers having issues with wolf predation, but really, truly, if we're talking about current times, for the last 40 years. I'm just pulling that number out of the air, but I would say most of us living on Cortes, as a community, highly value the wild spaces and the wild creatures. That means working in whatever way we can to coexist. FOCI has done an excellent job of educating the public how to secure animals so that they aren't an attractant to wolves and then potentially create that conflict."  CC: Tell me about some of the recent sightings  Christine: "I live in Whaletown, and have a keen interest in both wild spaces and wild critters. I'm grateful that we live in a place where we cohabit with wild creatures and so I'm always 'ear to the ground' when I hear stories."  "Most people don't talk about cougar encounters, because cougars are more secretive and they're single animals. We had very few reports of bears this fall, given all the apples. So the stories trickle down to me are about wolf observations, people who are hiking here and there. I actually started to record the observations that people were telling me, so that could be passed on to FOCI and we have a sense of where the wolves are moving on the island. It's helpful for them and it's helpful for humans."  "We live very close to the Whaletown Commons, and have a highly energetic dog. We walk the Commons every day with her. As I started hearing more about people observing the odd wolf off in the distance, through the forest, we started thinking, 'well, maybe we should actually have her on a leash.' So for the last three and a half weeks, either my husband or I are walking daily through the Commons with our dog on a leash, and we have yet to see a wolf."  "I would say judging from our dog's behaviour, they are present because she changes. She's more alert. She's just looking around and sniffing more. We have not personally seen wolves in the Commons, but I know other people have within the same space of time that we were there."  "I always find that interesting. People often think that wolves may present themselves. If you're one of the fortunate people to actually observe a wolf doing what naturally wild wolves will do, then I'd say you're very, very lucky."  "We all learned, through the coexistence with wildlife program that FOCI sponsored, that dogs are a real magnet for wolves. They have a longstanding historical, genetic maybe, dislike of dogs. They may see them as a competitor for food and territory and basically will not tolerate dogs running freely through an area that they consider part of their wildlife corridor."  "Because of the recent activity in the general Whaletown area, last week I very quickly put up extra notices in all the entrances to the Commons, advising people to not walk through the Commons with their dogs for the time being. That was in response to several sightings where people felt wolves were close enough that it made them feel uncomfortable. In those cases, there were dogs that were the draw for the wolves."

CIFFA has a contract to provide fire fighting services, with the Strathcona Regional District (SRD). A number of attendees questioned the Strathcona Regional District's current idea of setting up of a regional system, with a Fire Chief in Campbell River. “I just wondered if the Regional District has a mandate to provide the level of fire service that Cortes Island has developed for itself over the last 30 years? If they take over our department, is there any saying whether or not they have to provide the kind of fire service that we have here?” asked Aaron Ellingsen. Christine Robinson added, “I think there's no concern about the budget, it's about governance and process. I want to know once we pass the budget, what comes next? How do we get clarity from the SRD as to how we move forward in keeping self-governance on Cortes?” Andy Ellingsen said, “I would hate to leave this call without a clear statement of the importance that I see of keeping the control of our fire department at the local level. I do not see how we can run a volunteer fire department with a Chief that's appointed and answers to the SRD in Campbell River.” This was one of the many supportive comments that prompted a round of clapping and applause. The entire slate of 7 DIrectors proposed by CIFFA was voted in. Sadhu Johnston, the former City Manager of Vancouver who at one point in the meeting was called CIFFA's ‘ringer,' will continue in his new role as President. Chris Walker is Vice President. Lisa Ferentinos is the new Secretary/Treasurer. Wes KIrk, Chris Dragseth, Aaron Ellingsen and Dave Robertson are Directors at Large. Most attendees recognized that there must be an increase in the budget in order to meet the new provincial standards taking effect in March 2024. The budget for 2023, which calls an increase of just under $250 for the average property owner, was approved. Someone did question the budget's pay rises, “You can only pay so much out of your local tax base. Obviously you can't pay your Fire Chief on Cortes the same amount that you might have to in Campbell River. It's a completely different tax base. So how do they work that up?” Interim Fire Chief Eli McKenty replied, “The Chief on Cortes makes less than a regular firefighter in Campbell River. The Chiefs in Campbell River and all the officers are paid vastly more.” (In a previous interview, Vice President Chris Walker pointed out that CIFFA wants to pay the Fire Chief $90,000 per year and the average firefighter in Campbell River makes $120,000.) Sadhu Johnston explained, “If we look back at the past decade, the spend thrift nature of our operation has kept costs really low and really what it should be doing is going up evenly over time so you don't have this kind of bumpy increase. I think it's incumbent upon the board to be thinking about the next five years and looking at what increases are needed. So we can stay on top of it and not have a big jump in one year — which is really jarring.” “It's something to recognize that training, fuel insurance, all of these costs are going up. We need to project that out and try to be proactive so that taxpayers know what to expect in the years ahead. Typically what a municipality would try to do would be to project those costs over time and try to predict a little bit in advance, which I think we've done well with the fire truck that's needed. The money's been put in reserve so we don't need to pay it all at once. It can be purchased with the money that's been put in the bank over time. That is the kind of approach we want to take with the whole department.”

Salmon runs in the midst of a West Coast drought

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The drought conditions settling throughout the West Coast are another example of what Fisheries and Oceans Canada has identified as the #1 threat to BC's endangered salmon population. “While there are many stressors that affect Pacific salmon survival, climate change is rapidly superseding these threats,” DFO media spokesperson Lara Sloan emailed Cortes Currents. A recent twitter video shows thousands of dead salmon in spread out across the bottom of an almost dried up creek. Their corpses are so think that you cannot take a step without treading on them. Sloan explained, “On October 4, 2022, the Heiltsuk First Nation identified the death of approximately 63,000 adult Pink and Chum salmon in Neekas Creek which is located approximately 25 km north of Bella Bella.” On Wednesday, October 5, the City of Nanaimo released water from its reservoir to help the Chinook run stranded in the tidal portion of the Nanaimo River. The augmented flow will enable them to reach their spawning grounds. It will taper off on the weekend of October 8-9. It may be a little early for the Chum to return to Basil Creek on Cortes Island. They seem to have arrived towards the end of the month last year. In 2020 Christine Robinson wrote they ‘began to come into the creek on October 17.' There were no signs of any fish, when I walked along the bank this morning. To my untrained eye, it is difficult to image salmon passing through the immense bed of rocks at the creek's mouth. There is only a narrow trickle of water. “Vancouver Island has been experiencing an extended period of dry weather. Coupled with warmer water temperatures, current conditions for salmon in smaller river systems are generally poor, and there is unlikely to be sufficient rain to improve conditions in the next week to 10 days,” wrote Sloan. “A small number of river systems where water flow is controlled are experiencing water levels more typical for this time of year (e.g. Cowichan, Campbell, Qualicum and Stamp Rivers…).” Rochelle Baker of the National Observer recently donned a wetsuit to swim among the abundant Pink Salmon run in the Campbell River. Sloan warned that it may become necessary to reduce the flows of these less effected rivers, if drought conditions persist. “In general, we are not seeing fish moving into systems in the area, rather they are staging in front of rivers, or in deep pools in rivers where accessible. Some species have commenced spawning (e.g. Pink Salmon or early-timed populations of Chum and Chinook Salmon), but their eggs are likely safe, provided they remain moist through groundwater or subsurface flows,” she wrote. “The planet is warming, and the most recent five years have been the warmest on record. In Canada, the rate of warming has been twice the global average and is even greater at northern latitudes.  Stemming historic declines and rebuilding key Pacific salmon populations are the overarching goals of the historic $647 million Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative (PSSI) launched in June 2021. PSSI represents the largest-ever Government of Canada investment to save Pacific salmon. We need to take action toward stemming the declines now, while helping to rebuild adaptable populations over the longer term.”

Monitoring fish and insects in the Dillon Creek wetlands

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 4, 2022 5:25

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Seven adults and two children came to monitor wildlife in the Dillon Creek Wetlands, on April 1st. Friends of Cortes Island (FOCI) streamkeepers Cec and Christine Robinson and FOCI's Autumn Barret Morgan led the educational event. They began by listening to the birds, whose calls came from every side, and the gurgling flow of Dillon Creek. The aroma of damp earth rose to everyone's nostrils. Gusts of wind pushing against the microphone produced the periodic rumbling in this recording. A drizzle produced the tinkling sound. Morgan acknowledged that this is the unceded territory of the Klahoose, Tla'amin and Homalco First Nations. Amidst the ever present cacophony of voices in the podcast, you can hear Morgan and the Robinsons discussing where they should put a live fish trap. There were three traps.Two were placed in the creek. They decided to put the last trap in the middle of the wetland's ‘fish pond.' Morgan explained, “We have the stream keepers here with us. We're just testing for the fish presence and we'd like to see with this specific method that the streamkeepers use.This is the true way to truly document if we have fish presence in the wetland, other than through observations.” “We have never done this before,” said Christine Robinson. She immediately corrected herself, “I have never done this before. Have you put a trap in here?” “Nope,” replied Morgan. “So we're curious. When the winter rains have come and the creek is higher, then clearly there has been flow from the creek into the wetlands. So anything that's here came from the creek,” said Christine. No fish were caught that day, but Morgan said she has seen them on other occasions. “I have seen fish flowing in the inlet. When the inlet is actually dry, there is one pool that still remains wet and I've seen a fish trapped in that pool and we did bring it back to the creek. I got to see the size and see it up close, such a beautiful fish,” she said. “Also, when the wetland is very still, I've seen ripples that pop up - like a fish scooping an insect off the top. That is more of a passive observation. I haven't seen the fish themselves doing that.” A number of scientific measurements were taken in the water and air. The group was beside the fish pond when Cec Robinson said the oxygen level in the water was '10.8 parts per million.' Morgan said the water temperature was 11.5 degrees celcius and the air 8 degrees. That sparked a discussion. Why was the water warmer than the air? Could it be the fact that the pond is shallow and its' water is not moving? Were the suns rays being magnified? Is that reading is correct? Five year old Zyla Schmidt asked, “What are we doing next on the field.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Forest Trust for the Children of Cortes Island Society will hold its AGM on January 29th, 2022. It has been close to 12 years since Sabina Leader-Mense and Christine Robinson launched the initiative to purchase 600 acres from Island Timberlands forest holdings. “The forest lands surrounding Carrington Lagoon are so important in terms of providing a wildlife corridor to the northern wilds of Cortes. It just offered itself up and we thought, ‘how could anyone resist a children's forest?'” explained Robinson. Many people have taken up the vision since then. Robinson specifically mentioned Chris Dragseth and Andrew Smyth, the society's current Chair and Treasurer. After the pandemic hit in the Spring of 2020, the Forest Trust for the Children of Cortes Island partnered with Desta Beattie and the Cortes Community Health Association to offer a series of weekly zoom calls with a slightly different focus each week. Children were encouraged to go out into nature, find specific natural treasures, and bring pictures to the calls. Robinson remembers the week her computer screen filled up with images of frogs and tadpoles. After people could meet in person again, there were monthly Sunday walks through the Children's Forest. Groups of 4 to 20 children and adults participated. “We never quite know where we're going to go. although a favourite is always down to Grandmother Grove, where James Creek flows into Carrington Lagoon. We often have a campfire,” said Robinson. Dragseth gave an update on how the negotiations to purchase the Children's forest, which have been ongoing since 2013, are proceeding. “At this point I'd characterize the meetings with Mosaic as very positive,” he said. They have yet to agree on a price. “We'll see where we are this time next year, but we're always hopeful that we're moving in the right direction,” said Dragseth. “Mosaic has basically confirmed that we are the people they're talking to, as it relates to the five parcels in Carrington Bay, and nobody else is in the picture. Meanwhile the Trust has lined up some donors for when the sale finally goes through and continues to raise the funds for daily operations. Last year, the target was $2,000. “This year we set a target at $10,000 and we hit that and then some, so we've got money in the bank to help us do the operational stuff around negotiations,” explained Dragseth. Robinson added, “When we first started the project, I thought maybe five years. At the outside maybe ten, but surely by the time I have grandchildren. Well, I have three grandchildren and I hope that in the next year or two, they will have the pleasure of walking through the children's forest under different owners.” She proceeded to list upcoming events: The Annual Christmas Bird count, in partnership with the Cortes Island Museum, on January 2nd. The society's AGM on January 29th. “We expect to have a wonderful young alumni who was part of the original children's forest book and has been involved in activities over the years” said Robinson. Kiera Tsakonas recently graduated from SFU and will be joining the Forest Trust for the Children of Cortes Island board as a youth spokespeople. Dragseth said they were unable to book a guest speaker for the AGM, but are trying to organize something shortly afterwards.

Significant accomplishments reported at Cortes Children's Forest AGM

Roy L Hales / Cortes Currents - One of the advantages of virtual AGM is that people from Vancouver, Calgary, and select locations on both the West and East Coast can also attend. Most were in houses, but one was in a parked car and another on a sandy beach somewhere in Washington state. The Forest Trust for the Children of Cortes Island (FTCCIS) reviewed significant accomplishments of the past year at a ZOOM conference on Jan 23, 2021. “We did our first COVID compliant Mycoblitz in the Children's Forest… We identified 66 species and added 23 new species … We build these lists over time and will clearly get into several hundred species on Cortes. I would guesstimate there are more than 2,000 species on Cortes, so this is just the very beginning, “ explained mycologist Paul Stamets, who co-led the team with Cortes Island biologist Sabina Leader-Mense. “We took one day to focus on research and mentorship, which Sabina organized in the field with six youth. Then we had a day of education and public participation. Those youth mentored and guided us through those interpretive mycostations,” said Christine Robinson. “We started a whole new vocabulary. I just added mycoknots to it. Mycoblitz, mycostations, mycothanks, mycomerriment, and mycowonder came out of that week-end and now I am adding mycoknots – so the vocabularly continues to expand,” added Leader-Mense. There is much more about the mycoblitz, as well as the James Creek spawning bed project, Youth programming, and the FTCCIS board for 2021 in the podcast above and https://cortescurrents.ca/significant-accomplishments-reported-by-forest-trust-for-the-children-of-cortes-island/ Photo courtesy Max Thaysen

Chum Salmon have returned to Basil Creek

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - The Chum salmon have returned. Last year was disappointing. Cec Robinson told Cortes Currents there were perhaps 50, but there had been close to 1,300 in 2016. So Cortes Streamkeepers anticipate a much stronger count this year. There were between three and four dozen around the new culvert on Basil Creek on Sunday, Nov 1, 2020. Most were swarming around the front, but at least a half dozen were on the other side. The Tideline carries Christine Robinson's report of a survey of Basil Creek made two weeks ago, on October 17th. A party of young streamkeepers from Cortes School broke into four groups, each of which made its own tally. One group counted 197 Chum: 110 females and 87 males. The aggregate count varied widely: live fish - numbers between 80 and 286 dead - numbers between 8 and 28 predators - numbers between 12 and 40 (They counted every raven & crow!) There are two viewing areas where the public can look at the salmon in Basil Creek without trespassing on private property, the culvert and where the creek empties into Squirrel Cove. Christine asked that visitors keep their dogs on leases or better still, leave them at home. She added, “Approach from downstream (that way, if you startle the salmon, they will swim upstream rather than downstream where they came from).” There are three more salmon bearing creeks on Cortes Island. James Creek runs through the Children's Forest into Carrington Lagoon. Hansen Creek empties into the Gorge Harbour. Whaletown Creek runs through the other new culvert into into Whaletown Lagoon. Friends of Cortes Island Streamkeepers will continue to monitor and count spawners from mid-October through November.
