Kokanee Salmon Stewardship Program $10,000
Friends of West Kootenay Parks / Ecosense

The Kokanee Salmon Stewardship Program guides elementary and secondary school students towards an awareness of an important ecosystem and its management in the Columbia Basin.

This outdoor activity combines natural and cultural history, stewardship education, and artistic expression to enable and empower our youth to make responsible, environmentally aware choices. Kokanee Creek, the spawning channel, and Kootenay Lake provide the site for students to have a rich, hands-on, learning experience. The site demonstrates human influences on a natural resource, ecosystems functions and management. By paying attention to water quality, resource management practices, and by maintaining sustainable environmental conditions for the Kokanee, one is helping to create a healthy community.
