This project will focus conservation field-crew work on operations and stewardship projects, especially those involving First Nations, that maintain and enhance biodiversity and wildlife values on conservation properties.

Update: Field crews worked on 31 conservation properties

In 2022 and 2023, conservation field crews carried out land restoration work, treating five hectares of invasive plants, prioritizing 60 hectares for prescription development, and enhancing two wetland sites.

Crews also performed wildlife stewardship tasks, installing and monitoring 10 wildlife cameras and eight photo plot sites, repairing 11 wildlife exclosures, installing two access gates, and inspecting and repairing more than 33 kilometres of fence line.
