This report outlines how FWCP seed funding was used to design a wetland assessment and restoration project in the UKEEP project area of the East Kootenays. Methods and recommendations from several recent FWCP wetland projects were studied and land managers and professionals were consulted. This process resulted in the formation of a project partnership including Jakob Dulisse Consulting, BC Wetlands Institute, FLNRO and the Ktunaxa Nation. This partnership has submitted a funding application to assess 20-30 threatened wetlands within the UKEEP project area using simple riparian health assessment methods developed Paul Hansen and successfully practiced by the Alberta Cows and Fish Program. These methods are the result of decades of exhaustive field research and synthesis into simple field assessments that can be conducted quickly by minimally trained field crews. After assessment, we will recommend conservation actions for each wetland. The focus will be on easily accomplished actions which may include exclusion fencing and off-site cattle watering.
