| Abstract/Description or Keywords | The 8th annual BC Interior Stewardship Workshop was held in Cache Creek and co-hosted by the Bonaparte Watershed Stewardship Society. The workshop was a great success with record attendance of 83 people. Following the format from previous years, the workshop included sessions for networking and making new connections amongst the stewards, training and capacity-building, a tour, and celebrating and sharing successes. The agenda featured presentations from three BC Interior community-based stewardship organizations, an update from the provincial Farmland Riparian Interface Stewardship Program of BC Cattlemen's Association, an update from the Salmon Enhancement Habitat Advisory Board, and a presentation from the Stewardship Centre for BC. Two educational sessions were delivered, including one on effectively integrating stewardship with educators and youth and another on organization and governance tips for stewardship organizations. The tour for this year's workshop had a sustainable waste management theme: participants visited the Cache Creek landfill, the Ashcroft waste water treatment plant, as well as the Ashcroft public pool and Bonaparte restoration sites. A highlight of the workshop was the presentation of the BC Interior Stewardship Award for Ecosystem Excellence to Harold Ridgway, past-president of the Bonaparte Watershed Stewardship Society. A comprehensive summary report of workshops sessions follows on the succeeding pages, in the order that they were conducted. watershed management, stewardship |
