The Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park Society has been involved in continuous beaver monitoring in Fish Creek Provincial Park since 1999. Volunteers monitor a section of Fish Creek or the Bow River from spring thaw through fall freeze-up, annually. They record the location of dams, food caches, areas being used to collect food, the number of beaver observed and whether they are immature or adult. In addition, the monitors make note of any problems being created such as flooding of trails or large trees being chewed which could then pose a danger to the public. All data collected is mapped to provide a long-term picture of changes in beaver movements in both Fish Creek and the Bow River.
