Join the Lake Windermere Project for a Good Time!
Great opportunities for everyone to enjoy our lake and help keep it healthy
Invermere, B.C. — Spring and summer in the Kootenays is perfect for enjoying nature. How about enjoying nature and helping Lake Windermere at the same time? It’s even more perfect!
Once again, Wildsight’s Lake Windermere Project is inviting volunteers to come spend a day on the lake, have some fun, and learn about this important water resource right here in our backyard.
“This is a great opportunity for family or friends to learn about this amazing lake we have and the communities that surround it,” says Wildsight Program Manager Heather Leschied. “We’ve had a lot of fun in the past, and this year will be no different.”
Vital to the success of the Lake Windermere Project, Wildsight is in need of volunteers to help with various activities, such as boat counts and water quality sampling by boat, from May until September.
Developed in 2005, the Lake Windermere Project is a partnership of government agencies, First Nations, organizations and local citizens. Through education and collaboration, the Lake Windermere Project works to instill a community ethic of water stewardship that will enhance both the lake and surrounding upland water quality.
No matter how people help, it’s a sure bet spending an afternoon enjoying sunshine, fantastic views, wildlife and the beauty of Lake Windermere will be a great time. Volunteers will learn how to collect water quality samples, why they are important and what the results can tell us about the future of the lake.
“Bring your camera and a smile,” says Leschied. “Any day spent on the water is guaranteed to be fun and exciting!”
Anyone interested in volunteering can contact Heather Leschied at 250-341-6898 or heather@wildsight.ca or visit www.Wildsight.ca.
