The BC Wildlife Federation's Wetlands Insitute, a 7-day environmental stewardship workshop, is coming to Grand Forks, Slocan and Trail, BC. It is with great pleasure and excitement that we bring this valuable course to these areas free of charge for those that have a Wetland project that benefits British Columbia, and sign up before July 15. (worth over $1000 per participant). This special offer is available thanks to the generous contributions from our funders (This does not include food and lodging). This workshop is suitable for consultants, planners,
environmental/conservation groups, government representatives, First
Nations, and engaged community members. Participants are expected to
come to the course with a wetland project or program that they wish to
implement in their community or have a high propensity to initiate a
project/program in the future. Apply soon, as this course has been
known to fill quickly. We will be accepting a maximum of 25
participants.
We will contact you to confirm acceptance after we
have
reviewed your application.
This year, you will have the opportunity to assist renowned Wetland Restoration Specialist Robin Annschild in restoring wetlands at Cambridge and Violin Lake Reservoirs in Trail, BC, and assist with the Flood Mitigation Project in Grand Forks, BC.

This experience will also provide you access to a network of individuals who will help you successfully complete your local conservation project(s).
