Getting out of the office and boardroom to see real-world conditions is a highlight for watershed planners and stakeholders. Members of the Stakeholder Advisory Group, Riparian Working Group, and the Boundary Central Secondary Sustainable Resources 12 students and teacher Lisa Baia looked over riparian conditions at four sites on Boundary Creek Road, Greenwood, and Boundary Creek Provincial Park. Thanks to Fred Marshall for leading us through the tour and to Lisa for arranging the bus and bringing the keen students. Here’s some of the highlights.
