It takes a lot of staff and volunteer hands to transplant well over 6,000 plants to date, along the banks of Cascade Creek that will stabilize the environment, regulate water temperatures, and enhance the habitat.
Devon Zuchotzki is one of about a dozen volunteers helping Parks Canada plant native species along the bank of the Cascade Creek just north of the Banff townsite.
"As they grow taller, they're going to provide some cover so fish can hide under them from predators," she said. "They're going to add some food sources as well, bugs that land on them may fall in the creek and become food for our new fish."Recently Parks restocked the creek with 18,000 west slope cutthroat trout with 97 per cent of the eggs hatching. While the water is now the perfect habitat for the fish, the surrounding creek bank is harder to work with.
