Ecosystem-Based Conservation Action Framework for Slocan Lake

SLSS Awarded Funding for Bonanza Wetlands Remediation

October 2019 – Slocan Lake Stewardship Society (SLSS) has received 3 years of funding $242,000 from Columbia Basin Trust’s Ecosystem Enhancement Project to restore 3 important wetland complexes along Bonanza Creek between Summit and Slocan Lakes. SLSS has obtained additional funding through partnership with the Kootenay Conservation Program’s Kootenay Connect initiative to conserve the Bonanza Creek Corridor’s unique ecosystem and value as a source of biodiversity, as a hydrological buffer during climate change and for wildlife travel between Valhalla Provincial Park, Goat Range Park and beyond. To embark on a project of this size and with total spending expected to be over $400,000 over the next 3-4 years, is a turning point for SLSS.
