Description:
Year 7 of the project (fiscal 2025-26) marked the final year of effort at the Complex, guided by a work plan comprised of several sub-projects. The Partners hired the East Kootenay Invasive Species Council (EKISC) to implement invasive plant management across the Complex in 2025, guided by the Wycliffe Conservation Complex Invasive Species Management Plan. Work included chemical treatment, treatment monitoring, long-term effectiveness plot monitoring, InvasivesBC data entry and reporting. Fencing projects on the Complex were much smaller in scope than in recent years. During the 2025 field season, The Nature Trust of BC (NTBC) administered one contract for a wildlife-friendly fence replacement project on NTBC managed land. In addition, MWLRS and the project manager disposed of fence materials located on provincial conservation land as a much smaller, second initiative under this sub-project.
