Description:
Year 6 of the project (2024-25) marked another ambitious effort at the Complex, guided by a work plan comprised of several sub-projects. With another busy year on the books, the Conservation Partners again required a project manager to assist with procurement, contract development, coordination and supervision. Marc Trudeau, Executive Director with the Rocky Mountain Trench Natural Resources Society (RMTNRS) was thus contracted in May 2024 to serve in this role. Invasive plant control efforts occurred across all three Partner jurisdictions: lands secured by NTBC, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), and the BC Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship (MWLRS or The Province). NTBC administered contracts with two fencing specialists to complete five fencing projects across the Complex. In 2024, fence work included the removal of derelict fences, the replacement of old range fences utilizing a wildlife-friendly design, and the construction of one new build in a previously unfenced location.
