The BC Wildlife Federation's Wetlands Insitute, a 7-day environmental stewardship workshop, is coming to Creston, Cranbrook and surrounding communities. With great pleasure and excitement, we bring this valuable course to these areas free of charge for those with a wetland or watershed-related project that benefits British Columbia (worth over $1000 per participant!). This special offer is available thanks to the generous contributions from our funders (this does not include food and lodging). Included in your participation is a copy of Tom Biebighauser's Wetland Restoration and Creation: A Technical Guide ($60 value). This workshop is suitable for
consultants, planners, environmental/conservation groups, government
representatives, First Nations, and engaged community members and
landowners. Participants are expected to come to the course with a
wetland project or program that they wish to implement in their
community
or
have a high propensity to initiate a project/program in the
future. Apply soon, as this course has been known to fill quickly. We
will be accepting a maximum of 25 participants on a rolling basis.
We will contact you to confirm acceptance after we have
reviewed your application.
2024 presentations and activities will be announced soon. Last year's agenda can be viewed here for an idea of what the week will look like. Some topics that have been covered in previous Wetlands Institutes include:
This experience will also provide you access to a network of individuals who will help you successfully complete your local conservation project(s).

The BC Wildlife Federation offers follow-up support and resources to participants who complete the workshop, for up to 3 years post-workshop . Full-time participants are eligible to receive a certificate after successfully completing the workshop. For more information, you may contact:
