Location & Relationship to the Powell River Salmon Society
The Lang Creek Native Plant Garden is situated at the top of the Sunshine Coast, on Highway 101, fifteen kilometers south of Powell River, British Columbia. The Garden is located at the mouth of the Lang Creek Spawning Channel on two acres owned by the Powell River Salmon Society.
The Society operates and maintains the Alex Dobler Salmon Centre for the conservation and enhancement of Pacific salmon and since 1982 its dedicated volunteers have offered hands-on educational experiences for students, locals, and tourists.
History
In 2009 the Salmon Society invited volunteers from the Powell River Garden Club to create a garden to welcome visitors to the Centre. Inspired by the work of the Society and its commitment to native salmon and eco-education, the gardeners decided to complement those efforts by creating a native plant garden. Today the rockeries showcase many different species of native plants with identifying markers and educational signage.
