On March 2, 2026, the Town of Quispamsis, New Brunswick, announced it is providing $12,134 to help restore and protect Salmon Creek. The funding was awarded to the Hammond River Angling Association to support a community project aimed at improving local water quality and fish habitats.
The money will be used for several specific tasks including cleaning up the shoreline and testing the water quality. The association also plans to improve fish passage and install new signs to help educate the public about the creek.
These efforts are designed to help local fish populations and make the natural areas more enjoyable for residents and property owners. The town also donated an extra $300 toward the association’s annual conservation dinner.
The Hammond River Angling Association is a local non-profit group that has been working to protect the area’s watershed since 1977. Mayor Libby O’Hara and the town council provided the main funding through the municipal Community Investment Program.
Residents can expect to see biodiversity assessments and other conservation work starting soon. There will likely be opportunities for volunteers to get involved with the project throughout the spring and summer months.
