In 2016, invasive plant inventories and treatments were conducted at partnering conservation properties: Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), the Nature Trust of BC (TNT), the Ministry of Forests, Lands, & Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO), BC Parks and other high-value adjacent lands. This successful collaboration resulted in an efficient partnership to decrease the existing invasive plant populations, as well as to prevent any further negative impact on the ecosystem.

The invasion of noxious weeds has numerous negative impacts on natural ecosystems. Invasive plants threaten the health of Canadas limited native grasslands, may displace or extirpate endangered plant and animal species, negatively impact wildlife habitats, reduce productivity in forestry, agriculture and fisheries, and overall contribute negatively to functioning ecosystems. The Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program provided financial support to the East Kootenay Invasive Species Council to retain functional and sustainable ecosystems by mitigating the impacts of invasive species in protected areas of the East Kootenay and their adjacent lands. In 2016, invasive plant inventories and treatments were conducted at partnering conservation properties: Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), the Nature Trust of BC (TNT), the Ministry of Forests, Lands, & Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO), BC Parks and other high-value adjacent lands. This successful collaboration resulted in an efficient partnership to decrease the existing invasive plant populations, as well as to prevent any further negative impact on the ecosystem.
