• Perseverance Wetlands Walking Tour

  • Watershed Awareness Days Free Event

    Thursday May 28, 2026
    4 pm, Coal Creek Historic Park, Comox Lake Road

    Wetlands are vital, water-saturated ecosystems located within large watersheds. They act as natural sponges and filters, capturing water, reducing flood risks, and cleaning pollutants before they enter rivers and lakes. Healthy wetlands are crucial for maintaining water quality and supporting biodiversity.

    Join Current Environmental for this guided walk and talk all about the relationship between wetlands and watersheds. Learn how wetlands absorb the energy of atmospheric rivers and hold water for dry summer months, and discover how the Perseverance Creek Wetlands support the health and resilience of the Comox Lake watershed.
