little stream, big problems

If you've lived in Nanaimo for a while, you'll notice that there is constant change.  The desire to live in this beautiful place puts consistent development pressure on our land base.  Over the last 50 years North Nanaimo has changed from the "boonies" to a sea of subdivisions.  (If you want to read  more about the History of Walley Creek click here.)  Most urban creeks and streams have either been culverted and paved over, or treated as dumps for fill since they are less desirable areas for development.  Fortunately, Walley Creek has not been paved over, but it suffers its share of degradation in areas that have not been protected as park land.  Some of the factors motivating the protection of Walley Creek are - development encroaching into precious wetlands, and illegal dumping of yard waste in riparian areas. We want to protect this beautiful corridor for all the life it supports, and for the human health benefits of having access to nature.
