The Nature Trust of BC is hoping to raise enough money by April 9 to add more Salmon River floodplain near Sayward to a protected area.
The trust wants to add nearly 106 acres along the Salmon River to its existing estuary conservation complex in the area, bringing it to a total of nearly 1,038 acres.
They need to raise $293,000 by April 9 to make it happen.
The trust says the floodplain, which floods the forests around the river, is important habitat for a variety of species, including all five species of Pacific salmon, the great blue heron, Roosevelt elk, and the northern pygmy owl. The trust has been working for the past 50 years to purchase, protect and restore land along the river.
