2007-08-002-C1 - Selkirk RRC Wildlife Stewardship Program 2007
Summary
The Wildlife Stewardship Summer Project of 2007 included a solid team of three students: Christina Saliba; Calvin Menzi; and Kiefer Johnnie. Christina filled the position of Lead Wildlife Steward and has background in Health Sciences and is working toward a Wildlife Biology bachelor degree. Calvin, a student of Pelly Crossing and with experience working as a Wildlife Steward in the summer of 2006 along with a general interest in wildlife, filled the position of Wildlife Steward. Kiefer Johnnie a student of Pelly Crossing with an interest in nature and wildlife filled the last position of Wildlife Steward. This year’s projects included the continuation of duck monitoring on Rock Island Lake, Lhutsaw Lake, Six Mile Lake, and the newest addition Six Mile Meadow. In addition, Six Mile Meadow was well recorded by GPS coordinates, pictures, and detailed observations. The creeks analyzed for the river restoration and juvenile Chinook enhancement projects were Willow, Grayling, and Caribou creeks located along the Pelly Farm Road. Mica and Needlerock Creeks were hiked to observe live adult, carcasses, and redds of Chinook salmon. The Selkirk Traditional Territory was assessed for a one-week period from Faro to the Granite Canyon by boat along the Pelly River. These projects should continue to be funded because they provide valuable information to scientific groups and the community while allowing students to develop out door and technical skills while increasing their knowledge of the land and its wildlife.
