· To view the Wetlands Institute Agenda,
· To view and fill out the application form,
The
Wetlands Institute is a 7-day hands-on program that educates participants about
wetlands stewardship and wetland construction skills. Participants are encouraged
to come with a wetland project that they can implement upon returning home from the Institute.
Since 1998, the Institute has been held bi-annually in selected communities across
British Columbia. Participants spend most of the week in the field learning about
the importance and diversity of wetlands, practicing up to date field techniques to
inventory wetlands vegetation mapping, water quality, soils, birds, amphibians, and
fish. Most importantly, participants discuss ways to contact and communicate with
landowners and developers and to raise public awareness and influence conservation
policies.
|
| Within the selected
host community, several different wetland sites are visited during the week to highlight
different restoration, conservation and education methods. Upon completion of the Institute,
participants from all types of backgrounds are fully trained to begin wetland projects in
their home communities!
