INDIGENOUS YOUTH TRAINING IN SPECIES AT RISK MONITORING
Affinity provided consulting services to the Bagida'waad alliance to carry out Species at Risk surveys on two properties as part of an AFSAR (Aboriginal Fund for Species at Risk) grant. Youth participants were trained on field ecology skills while completing bat, amphibian, bird, plant, and Ecological Land Classification surveys.
Youth Aki-Guardians added fine woody debris to improve breeding habitat for amphibians such as frogs and salamanders. Large woody debris was added as turtle basking habitat.
Invasive Phragmites australis (Common Reed) was controlled by hand digging to prevent the spread of this non-native, aggressive spreading plant.
