Our Initiatives

One river, one watershed— all of our initiatives flow directly from our strategic priorities, and seek to cooperatively conserve the biological diversity and naturally-functioning ecosystems of the Kootenays.

Kootenay Connect works with regional partners to sustain exceptional places of biodiversity.

Our Forums help regional neighbourhoods to identify conservation targets and act on shared ecological priorities.

A one-stop shop of solutions to inspire stewardship action across the Kootenay region.

Conservation Ambassador Training offers online peer-learning for stewardship practitioners.

Our annual Conservation Leadership Awards are an opportunity to celebrate conservation leaders in the Kootenay region.

Our coordination activities bring partners together to increase effectiveness of private land conservation and stewardship.

On top of our initiatives, we also support partners to share leading-edge knowledge in the field, at seasonal gatherings, and through webinars.
