Description:
Okanagan Wildlife Consulting was contracted by the Nature Conservancy of Canada to assess the potential for habitat enhancement for the Endangered Williamson’s Sapsucker (WISA) on the Wycliffe Conservation Complex (the “complex”) in the East Kootenay of B.C. and to develop habitat prescriptions for enhancement of at least one area within the complex. Habitat enhancement specifically for Williamson’s Sapsucker has not been done before in B.C. Most habitat research and recommendations have been aimed at mitigating the effects of timber harvesting, so the habitat enhancement approach here is developed from first principles.
