Association of Wetland Stewards for Clayoquot and Barkley Sounds

Overview

The Association of Wetland Stewards for Clayoquot and Barkley Sounds is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting awareness and stewardship of wetland ecosystems. These ecosystems include marshes, swamps, bogs, and surrounding forests, which provide habitats for a diverse range of flora and fauna, particularly amphibians[1][2].

Activities

The organization engages in various activities to achieve its goals:

  • Research and Monitoring: It conducts scientific studies and monitoring to understand and protect wetland habitats and their inhabitants[1][4].
  • Educational Outreach: The association provides educational materials, workshops, and slide shows to raise awareness among the public about the importance of wetland conservation[1].
  • Volunteer Opportunities: Volunteers can participate in research, monitoring, and stewardship activities, such as building fences to protect amphibian habitats[3].
  • Collaboration: The organization collaborates with local communities and First Nations groups, like the Huu-ay-aht, to support conservation projects. These projects include road and shoreline surveys, habitat restoration, and the installation of barriers and tunnels to protect amphibians during migration[3][4].

Conservation Efforts

One notable project is the SPLAT (Species Protection through Local Action Team) initiative, which focuses on mitigating the impact of human infrastructure on amphibian migration. This includes installing amphibian tunnels under bike paths and highways to reduce road mortality[4].

Funding and Support

The organization receives financial support from partners like the Huu-ay-aht First Nation, contributing to projects such as habitat restoration and road resurfacing[3].

Business Registration

The Association of Wetland Stewards for Clayoquot and Barkley Sounds is registered with the Business Registration Number 811790096RR0001.

The SPLAT Project Amphibian Tunnel Wednesday August 21 2024 20232024 SPLAT UPDATE Check out a rundown of the projects we did last year in our 202324 SPLAT Update. A new venture was to help the AlberniClayoquot Regional District mitigate the effects of a new bike path adjacent to the highway in a migratory corridor for Northern Redlegged Frogs and other amphibians. They placed new amphibian tunnels under the path and supported our efforts to build fencing to guide animals from the forest to beneath the path and then onward to cross through the original amphibian highway tunnel that we installed in 2011. Stay tuned to find out how well these new connectors work.
