Is your organization having challenges making inroads with Aboriginal people and Aboriginal Organizations. Are you an Aboriginal group who wants to better engage with Industry?
Join us for field-based training in using the Wetland Ecosystem Services Protocol for BC (WESP-BC) to assess the important functions and values of wetlands! Gain a better understanding of how wetlands function ecologically, and how those functions matter for people, ecosystems, and infrastructure within their specific landscape context. WESP-BC is a standardized rapid function assessment method for non-tidal wetlands in BC. Outcomes of WESP-BC will support alignment with the Government of B.C.’s management goals for wetlands.
Over this three-day course, participants will gain practical tools and the confidence to facilitate with care, intention, and clarity.
