The Bonaparte First Nation has revived and lengthened a refuge for juvenile coho salmon between Cache Creek and Clinton
Located on the Campbell Hills Ranch on Loon Lake Road between Cache Creek and Clinton, the channel now runs along the floodplain of the Bonaparte River for a full kilometre.
It was product of two years of work primarily by the Bonaparte First Nation with support from the B.C. Wildlife Federation, which directed $135,000 to the project. Juvenile coho are notoriously fussy about where they rear. The channel is fed by groundwater, which makes it a little cooler in the summer and keeps it from freezing when temperatures drop in the winter.
