Columbia Kootenay Fisheries Renewal Partnership


Cranberry Marsh Enhancement Project - $10,000
Ducks Unlimited Canada
Valmount, BC

The purpose of this project is to conserve over 110 hectares of wetland habitat for waterfowl and other wetland-dependent wildlife by replacing the ageing water control structure at the McKirdy compartment of Cranberry Marsh. The marsh is a significant component of a popular wildlife sanctuary with a public loop trail, viewing platforms and educational signage. The community Valemount will benefit from this project through the continued existence of the marsh, which provides both ecotourism opportunities and a site for local environmental education projects.
