Administrative history
The Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Society was officially formed on May 27, 1980 with the primary goal of undertaking a project to restore the Kingfisher Creek. A tributary of the Campbell River, this creek had originally run through the property of well known B.C. author and conservationist, Roderick Haig-Brown.
Prior to his death in 1976 Haig-Brown had made some preliminary plans to undertake this stream restoration project which later became the basis for the Society. In 2001, after extensive fund raising and several successive phases the project to restore Kingfisher Creek was completed.
In 2001 the Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Society underwent a name change (as well as change in focus) and is now known as the Haig-Brown Institute.
Custodial history
Scope and content
The fonds consists of minutes of meetings, society newsletters, restoration proposals and reports, funding sources and incoming and out-going correspondence. The records reflect the activities of the Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Society over a period of twenty-one years (1980-2001) with a specific focus on the restoration of the Kingfisher Creek, a tributary of the Campbell River. Restoration activities featured in these records are centered around the restoration and rehabilitation of the two main branches of the creek, the adjoining wetland (the Pease Swamp), and the diversion of the creek so that it enters the Campbell River through the property of Roderick Haig-Brown.
