Workshop to explore private land conservation in Revelstoke area
Learn about how private land conservation can be achieved and what’s happening in the North Columbia area.
Ecosystem conservation on private land is one way to protect clean water, preserve important wildlife habitat, and steward the land to allow for healthy, functioning ecosystems. Since 2002 the Kootenay Conservation Program (KCP) has helped to support partners in conserving over 250,000 hectares of land and invest over $150 million into conservation projects across the east and west Kootenays.
Juliet Craig, program manager with the Kootenay Conservation Program (KCP), will explain the various ways that private land conservation can be achieved and explore the interest in expanding KCP’s programs into the North Columbia Mountains.
This is the second workshop associated with the Mid-Columbia Ecosystem Enhancement Project, and all are welcome to join in on a discussion to explore private land conservation initiatives in the North Columbia region.
The event takes place Monday, Dec. 5 starting at 7 p.m. at the Revelstoke United Church.
