The BC Wildlife Federation's Fish Habitat Restoration and Education program presents the  Invermere  Fish Habitat Stewardship Workshop , an opportunity to get involved in your local community and learn valuable skills to help promote conservation! 

Join us to learn about freshwater fish life histories and physiologies (including Pacific salmon and trout!), fish habitat, fish identification, freshwater invertebrate sampling and identification, stream morphology and hydrology, riparian vegetation, invasive species, and watershed connectivity.

The workshop will span 2 days and include interactive presentation style education sessions and hands-on activities. We will be joined by quest speakers, along with members of Shuswap Band.

The workshop will be centered around Abel Creek, 5 minutes outside of Invermere. This stream provides vital habitat to Kokanee, an inland salmonid species that is recovering in this region of the Kootenays. As such, Kokanee life histories, habitat and conservation will be a major focus of this workshop.

Check back soon for updated information on specific workshop activities!

Upon registering, you will receive a confirmation email, followed by an information package including the meeting location and further details 7 to 10 days before the workshop.
