Background
Greer Creek is a tributary of the Nechako River and is an important stream for salmon spawning and rearing. Much of the area along Greer Creek has been logged and/or cleared for agricultural purposes over the last century. Historical clearing practices and cattle grazing in riparian areas have contributed to stream bank stability deterioration, erosion issues, in some locations very severe, and have resulted in stream relocation, mass wasting, and significant deposition of sediment into the stream.
