We are recruiting!
The Columbia Basin Watershed Network is recruiting a very special set of
volunteers to help us make the most of our Network. We are establishing three Advisory Committees, each with different responsibilities. The Science Advisory will link members to the scientific knowledge they need, the Watershed Education Advisory will help members to promote their watershed education and training and help members that need education and training, and the Network Advisory will work to build the strengths and capacities of the network.
If one of these areas is of special interest to you, please have a look at the description pages, and contact us to ask questions or to nominate yourself!
... contact Tara if you would like to volunteer with the Network

Aquatic Invasives Updates
Province of British Columbia Conservation Officers are operating several roving boat inspection stations on the highways in British Columbia.
This spring, infested watercraft have been found entering BC, and many more potentially infested watercraft have been quarantined.
Stops are required with any watercraft including SUPs, kayaks and canoes.
With invasive mussels now established in Lake Winnipeg and many prairie waterways, and to the south of us in Arizona, California and throughout the midwest, our 'buffer zone' is growing smaller.Please consider renting a watercraft outside of British Columbia instead of travelling with yours.
