The Friends of Bowker Creek Society envisions a healthy Bowker Creek watershed that connects people to nature, where fish, wildlife, biodiversity and communities thrive.
Communities in the Watershed
There are three regional municipalities and twelve neighbourhood associations in the Bowker Creek watershed. We aim to connect with the individuals who want to learn more about urban watershed renewal and make improvements to water quality and natural habitat.

Pulling Together at Browning Park
This Saanich Pulling Together group works meet every Tuesday evening from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. for Power Hours alongside the Bowker Creek Greenway at Browning Park. Dedicated volunteers work at removing invasive plants, adding native plants and leaf mulch at this creekside riparian site, with support from the Saanich Pulling Together Volunteer Program.
Oak Bay High School Pathway
Come and meet up with friends and make new ones; enjoy a few hours of socializing and pulling invasive plants at the Oak Bay High School Bowker Creek pathway. Where: Behind Oak Bay High School along the Bowker Creek Pathway When: 10am to 12pm Watering over the summer is provided by hose connections from Oak Bay High School. If you are an early bird, consider arriving at 9:00 a.m. to help lay out the hoses across the playing field. What to Bring: Your enthusiasm and dress for the weather as sessions happen rain or shine. We Provide: Gloves and tools. However, if you prefer to use your own, please bring them along. We look forward to having previous volunteers back and meeting new ones!

Kings Community Nature Space
This Saanich Pulling Together group works meet every 2nd and 4th Monday morning from 10:00 a.m until noon at the Kings Park Community Nature Space alongside Bowker Creek between Kings Rd and Haultain St. in the Camosun Community neighbourhood. There is dense English Ivy, Daphne, Holly and Himalayan blackberry and it will be good to remove those before the Bracken Fern, Snowberry and native Trailing Blackberry start to bloom. Contact: kingsnaturespace@bowkercreek.org to add your name to the contact list and find out about the upcoming volunteer sessions. We appreciate any effort you can offer to restore this community nature space.
