nʔaʕx̌ʷt Wetland Restoration – Phase 2

By: Gordon Wilson

Ginty's Restoration

Comments: 0

Phase-2 of the wetland restoration construction at nʔaʕx̌ʷt (Ginty’s Pond) is now completed.

nʔaʕx̌ʷt is an oxbow of the Similkameen river located near Cawston, BC, which over several decades, the expansion of cattail had resulted in a loss of open water habitat. The goal of the nʔaʕx̌ʷt project is to restore ecosystem functions including open-water wetland habitat for Western Painted Turtle.

The complete construction & restoration report can be viewed by clicking the following link: CONSTRUCTION REPORT

Substantial funding was provided by the:

  • BC Wildlife Federation
  • BC Watershed Recovery Fund, and
  • Province of BC Together for Wildlife Fund.

Project leadership is a team collaboration of

  • SILT, BC Wildlife Federation,
  • the Lower Similkameen Indian Band, and
  • the BC Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship.
