The Slocan Wetland Assessment and Monitoring Project (SWAMP) collects field data in order to classify and map wetlands in the Slocan Valley watershed in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. One objective of our analysis is to identify and prioritize sensitive ecosystems for enhancement, restoration and/or protection. In 2015, SWAMP’s field research team conducted ecological sampling of a portion of the Bonanza Creek corridor located at the north end of Slocan Lake (Fig. 1). The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary of field observations and data collected at the Bonanza Marsh Wetland Complex (Bonanza Complex) located at the confluence of Bonanza Creek and Slocan Lake. The Bonanza Complex is approximately 16 hectares in size containing high biological diversity including several rare species, and a variety of sensitive wetland ecosystems. Given the on-going conversations about the future condition of the Bonanza Marsh Wetland Complex among local residents, stewardship groups, land conservancies, biologists and resource managers, SWAMP has prepared this paper to further inform conservation objectives and actions towards protecting Bonanza’s exceptional ecological values.
