MAPLE CREEK STREAMKEEPERS
| |
| |
We are a stewardship group dedicated to encouraging all community members to protect, rehabilitate and restore the natural environment and the natural services it provides to us all.
| |
We work toward changing the values and behaviour of ourselves and others in order to achieve meaningful and effective environmental stewardship.

We work with and support fellow stewardship groups in reaching our common goals.
