Once there was a young boy named Charlie. Every day through all types of weather he would go to visit the small stream near his house. He walked along the bank, looked at birds, skipped stones and visited a small mouse. But never once did a find a fish or even a grouse. 

    One day as he walked along the shore. There was a team of people taking samples of the water who he had never seen before. They were scraping rocks and sifting through the mud. As Charlie moved in closer, they explained they were checking for freshwater bugs after the flood. They said, “You see, the best way to look after the steam is to check for debris.” “Were making shell creek fit for the salmon and by doing so the land will be protected for the other animals as well” Said Resse Cannon.                

    Charlie stayed and helped, all the while having fun. He planted vegetation and looked at oxygen levels in the water late into the evening sun. The researchers ushered the boy home but said to come back tomorrow because the real work had not begun.  

    The next day as Charlie visited the stream, he thought that yesterday had been but a dream. To his surprise as he came around the corner, he saw the workers and noted that today was much warmer. When he approached, he saw buckets and buckets of little fish. They swam around with their little tails going flick and swish.
