Quantitative biotic benchmarks were developed 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. We identified reference sites that can be used to compare to trends at restored wetland sites over time. This information will provide data on trends over time in wetland recovery following restoration. An important component of this project is private landowner engagement by participation in our invertebrate monitoring program and enhancement projects providing some first steps towards fostering stewardship and restoration of private wetlands. 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 corridor. 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.
