North Okanagan students enhance Armstrong wetland

On April 29, local high school students planted 115 native trees and shrubs in Armstrong to support efforts aimed at restoring a nearby wetland area.
The event followed planning by the Armstrong Wetlands Association, BC Wildlife Federation, teachers Luke Harding and Rob Buchanan, and local organizer Kim Fulton.
Students started their day at Huculak Park, where BC Wildlife Federation biologists introduced them to the importance of wetlands and outlined the project aimed at enhancing habitat diversity.
Jill de la Salle, who leads the Armstrong Wetlands Association, noted that the planting process was carried out swiftly and effectively, with each young plant identified by a pin flag to allow for continuous tracking.
Volunteers will oversee and provide regular watering to the mini-forest throughout the summer, aiming to ensure healthy plant growth and support a vibrant wetland habitat.
