Our FreshWater Catalogue: A News Brief

1/30/2020

 
Officially launched in April 2018, our WPS Salt Spring Island FreshWater Catalogue project is on track for a solid second year, moving from a project startup "push" to an active project "pull." We have a growing number of project volunteers, have been successful in a key grant application, and have reached more 250 islanders with our educational outreach.
​
As a reminder, the FreshWater Catalogue (aka SSIFWC) is about
  • raising community awareness about the island’s surface freshwater diversity and ecosystems diversity;
  • gathering data on island freshwater in support of island-wide water resource quantification; and
  • supporting the development of island area(s) watershed stewardship.

The Society also owns and manages 272 forested acres on the slopes west of St. Mary Lake now protected by a conservation covenant.
