DESCRIPTION
Habitat Acquisition Trust (HAT) has launched an educational activity booklet focusing on the salmon-forest ecosystem of Goldstream Provincial Park, and the booklet will be provided at no cost to children or their families. “Here at HAT we feel environmental education should be accessible to all children in the region. It will benefit their understanding of the habitat and the animals that depend on it,” said Adam Taylor, Executive Director of HAT. For more visit hat.bc.caTRANSCRIPT

IT TAKES A FOREST...
Healthy salmon streams need clean water, good habitat, and responsible people to look after them. The forest canopy provides shelter from the sun. The tall trees have deep roots that filter the water and hold the soil.
The chum salmon spawn closer to the ocean than other salmon in Goldstream.
...TO RAISE A SALMON
Goldstream salmon runs are fished by several First Nations families for food.
Being respectful of the river includes staying on the path.
...TO RAISE A SALMON
Rain & water connect our homes to salmon streams. You
can help salmon by: 1. Being quiet & respectful
2. Keep pets out of the river3. Do not use artificial fertilizers or chemical
pesticides on lawns or gardens
Logs near the stream? Fallen logs provide shelter and hiding places.
Rapid, rough water? Splashing adds oxygen to water for salmon to breathe.
How do cars, pets, and homes impact the Goldstream River?
THE SALMON AND FOREST...Dead salmon are an important part of the Coastal Forest food chain. Flies and other insects lay eggs in salmon carcasses, in turn the insects are food for bats, birds, and especially the small salmon fry.
The western screech owl relies on old forest habitat.
Black bears carry salmon into the forest and the leftovers become food for the trees.
Bats rely on dead trees to roost and insects to feed.
...ARE INTERCONNECTED
The bones and skin of salmon decompose to become food
for trees and other plants. The plants are then food for deer,
slugs, and many other animals. All of these forest creatures
need healthy salmon forests to survive and thrive!
Blue-grey taildropper slugs live in the fallen leaves.
Salamanders find homes in fallen logs on the forest floor.
Gulls and dippers rely on spawning salmon as a winter food source.
