SUMMARY:Linking Farmland to Floodplains: Connecting Farmland Up and Down the Stream
DESCRIPTION:Ideas and actions for restoring floodplain function in the Kootenays & Boundary through government and agriculture landowner collaboration. \nJoin us on Monday June 27th for a webinar and Q+A session to discuss how local governments and producers can work together to connect farmland to floodplains in an effort to mitigate flood risk. \nDiscussion topics include: \n\nsummary of current agricultural approaches to dealing with flooding on farmland\nbarriers to producer-led riparian/floodplain restoration on farmland\nopportunities for agricultural land owners and local governments to collaborate on initiatives and co-support riparian projects on private and public lands\nrecommendations for near-term action\n\nThis webinar is focused on the Kootenays and Boundary regions of BC\, but is open to attendees from across the province who want to learn about collaborative approaches to floodplain restoration and linking private land with floodplain restoration initiatives to reduce flood risk.
