Mission Creek Reflection



I feel this is a beautiful place that is great for sneaking away to clear your head or to grab some piece and quiet. There are many different natural environments that are all spread out over the mission creek. You are able to see unique species and plants that are all native to the Okanagan. I had an amazing time exploring the woods and the river looking for species and animals that lived along and in the river.  I hope that Mission Creek can stay as natural as possible and that we do not continue to mess with natural habitats of animals and species in Kelowna. You can see different areas along the river where it has been channelized and fixed so that it does not overflow into the city. I hope that the area I visited remains untouched so that the species and animals can feel safe and at home in that environment.  Along the trail you can come across a lot of garbage I feel that if we enforced laws or rules against littering in places like this people would take better care of the beautiful environment that the Mission Creek has to offer. I plan on taking time through the year to look for new species and identify new plants that I do not already know about within the mission creek. The mission creek makes you feel like you are in an environment similar to the coastal areas and that’s why I found it so unique to study the plants and animals in this area.
