Development of quantitative biotic benchmarks to track wetland recovery that can be used to assess wetlands in the Columbia Basin. These benchmarks along with an adaptive management approach can be used to make management decisions about restoration and conservation. Reference sites have been identified that will provide data on trends that can be used to compare trends at restored wetland sites over time.

Data obtained during this study, will be used to inform new work on bat-insect trophic interactions and testing of bat enhancement methods centered within the Bonanza to Box Lake corrido. This work aligns with the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Programs FWCP Riparian and Wetlands Action Plan for monitoring and evaluation and habitat-based actions. In addition, the project helps to support increased information and knowledge on the ecological processes of wetlands in the Slocan Valley and North Kootenay Lake, leading to meaningful outcomes for the community, funders and supporters.
