The B.C. Wildlife Federation’s Wetlands Workforce Program is a collaboration with conservation organizations and First Nations will deploy Work-Pods that aim to:

Maintain Native Species: Restore riparian area habitat and stabilize shorelines at previously restored wetlands by managing weeds, protecting trees, and planting native species. 
Management of Wetlands: Monitor the effectiveness of these wetland restoration sites to inform best management practices and adaptive management needs.  
Collaboration with Indigenous Communities: Advance collaborative wetland restoration projects through planning processes that involve First Nations and community engagement.  
Create Sustainable Jobs: Provide employment opportunities for people affected by the recent economic recession, targeting woman, people under 30, and First Nations.  
Monitor Wetland Improvement: Support Province wide monitoring initiatives that will improve wetland management through the development of better wetland inventories and decision-making tool. 

 

This project was supported through the Healthy Watersheds Initiative, which is delivered by the Real Estate Foundation of BC and Watersheds BC, with financial support from the Province of British Columbia as part of its $10-billion COVID-19 response.
