Advancing Wetland Stewardship & Restoration in the Kootenays
This project will restore 10 hectares of wetland and floodplain habitat on Yaqan Nuʔkiy lands near Creston, and on a tributary near Golden.
Simple, low-tech methods that mimic natural processes will be used to restore wetland habitat. The project will also increase landscape connectivity, and enhance habitat for amphibians, waterfowl and breeding birds, bats, bears, cougars, and ungulates.
