Fraser Basin Council Ninth Annual BC Interior Stewardship Workshop was held in Vanderhoof in May 2013. NEWSS lead a field trip to Murray Creek to promote awareness about the project and the overall picture of NEWSS.
One major supporter of rehabilitation work on Murray Creek has been Richard Martens, a long-time rancher in the area. Murray Creek flows through much of Martens' property and his dedication to stewardship and rehabilitation to long sections of the creek has not been overlooked. In 2015, Richard received the Cattlemen's Environmental Award. Congratulations - well deserved!
