Would your acreage benefit from soil amendment? 

Mercer Celgar is looking for landowners with 2 or more acres within 55 km 

that would benefit from using their Celgrow soil amendment. Pastures and 

hay fields are good options. 

Mercer Celgar will cover the costs of a Qualified Professional performing 

soil sampling, obtaining government authorization and delivery costs of Celgrow 

soil amendment based on access with a large truck/pup combination. 

Acreage should be able to accommodate at least 6 truck/pup loads. The two 

major components of Celgrow are individual wood fibres lost from the pulping 

process and surplus bacteria from the wastewater biological treatment 

facility. Wood fibres enhance soil moisture retention and bacteria are a good 

source of soil nutrients. The landowner is responsible for spreading and incorporating 

Celgrow into their soil. 

If interested, please contact Len Hewat

Kootenay Conservation Program 

Cooper Creek Cedar Ltd (CCC) is referring the Company’s 

2022-23 Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP) for public review. 

The FSP is a landscape level plan that specifies Results 

and Strategies that must be implemented to meet the 

objectives set by Government for Soils, Water, Wildlife, 

Visual Qualities Objectives, Timber, Fish, Biodiversity and 

Cultural Heritage Resources. The Results and Strategies 

state forest management practices that will conserve and 

protect forest resources within the company’s planned 

areas of interest in which harvesting and road construction 

activities will occur. The Results and Strategies must 

be measurable or verifiable so they can be evaluated as to 

whether the specific objectives are being met. 

CCC’s FSP includes forest tenure from Laird Creek/Balfour 

Face to Fletcher Creek, Johnson’s Landing to Argenta to 

North Duncan Lake and Howser Creek, including the side 

drainages in Howser Creek. 

The FSP is publicly available for review and comment for a 

period of 60 days. The FSP, Forest Development Units and 

Appendices can be viewed at:

received by November 1, 2022 to be considered.

Kootenay Lake Local Conservation Fund 

Request for Proposals 

The Kootenay Conservation Program (KCP) and Regional 

District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) are seeking 

proposals for projects that will benefit conservation 

in the rural areas around Kootenay Lake, specifically 

Electoral Areas A, D, and E within the RDCK. 

The purpose of the Fund is to provide local financial 

support for important projects that will contribute to 

the conservation of our valuable natural areas. Kootenay 

Lake Local Conservation Fund (KLLCF) funding 

is available for conservation projects that result in the 

reduction to a known threat to biodiversity. The Fund 

supports projects that lead to clean air, safe water, 

habitat for fish and wildlife, natural areas, and healthy 

watersheds. 

Projects that are technically sound and effective, and 

provide value for money through partnerships with 

other funders will be given priority. Proponents must 

be a registered not-for-profit organization, First Nation, 

or local government. Unqualified groups or organizations 

may partner with a qualified organization. A Technical 

Review Committee will review project proposals 

and make recommendations to the RDCK for final funding 

approval. 

To apply for funding, go to 

https://kootenayconservation.ca/kootenay-lakelocal-conservation-fund/. 

Review the Terms of Reference 

(paying particular attention to Section 8 – Fund 

Design) and KLLCF Application Guide, and then apply 

using the application forms provided. 

The closing date for project submissions is 4:30 pm 

PDT October 28, 2022. 

Project proposals must be delivered by email to 

info@kootenayconservation.ca.

We Saved 

Cottonwood Lake! 

Celebrate a Community Taking Action – 

October 8, 2022, Cottonwood 

Lake Regional Park 

Four years in the making and we have 

finally done it. We have saved Cottonwood 

Lake. With your incredible support, we successfully 

raised just under $650,000 which 

supported the purchase of 49 hectares of 

mature forest slated to be logged. Over 1,000 

different individual donors, from families to 

businesses, locals, non-locals, and everyone 

in between, helped us reach our goal of protecting 

Cottonwood Lake so it can remain 

wild. 

So, you’re all aware, 

$400,000 went to the 

land purchase with the 

remainder going to 

endowment fees, surveys, 

and operational costs that 

all contribute to Cottonwood’s 

future. 

Thanks to a passionate 

group of volunteers 

and a giving, creative, 

motivated community 

behind them, the wilderness 

above Cottonwood 

Lake—home to a variety 

of plants and animals— 

has been protected. 

Forever. 

Over the past year, 

the work of the Cottonwood 

Lake Preservation 

Society (CLPS) has been 

focused on the transition 

of lands to be protected 

in perpetuity. The money 

the CLPS raised was 

passed to the RDCK, who 

became the on-title owners 

of the property. 

From there, the CLPS 

continued to work with 

the RDCK to transfer 

the land to the Nature Conservancy of Canada 

(NCC). Supported by the funds raised by 

CPLS for an endowment, NCC 

will manage and protect the 

property’s important ecological 

features. It’s taken some time, 

but we’re happy 

to report that the 

mature, forest ecosystem 

above our 

beloved Cottonwood 

Lake will be 

protected from any 

type of development 

for generations 

to come. 

To celebrate the 

closing of the Save 

Cottonwood campaign, 

and to recognize 

the many 

of you who donated your time, 

your creativity, your energy, and 

your money to Save Cottonwood, 

we’re throwing a shaker. 

Join us on Saturday October 8 

th , 2022, at Cottonwood Lake between 

12 p.m. and 4 p.m. as we unveil our 

new donor kiosk, and officially celebrate 

the closure of this amazing story 

of a small community rising to a very 

big challenge. Check our website (savecottonwood.com)

The Cannabis Plant 

The cannabis plant was used for millennia in our daily 

health regimens until the turn of the 20th century when 

cannabis use became criminal and stigmatized. Prior to 

criminalization, cannabis was used medicinally to treat concerns 

like arthritis, migraines, epileptic conditions, depression, 

asthma and “women’s pains”. Even Queen Victoria was 

known to take a cannabis tincture, given to her by her doctor, 

Sir J. Russell Reynolds, to relieve menstrual cramps. In 1890, 

Sir J. Russell Reynolds wrote: 

“When pure and administered carefully, [cannabis] is one 

of the most valuable medicines we possess.” 

There are different varieties of the cannabis plant that 

contribute to different flavours, uses, storage capacity and 

regional compatibility. Much like apples! Some apples are 

great for eating, making pies, sauces or juice; different varieties 

taste different, have a different crunch and purpose. When 

it comes to cannabis, no two plant varieties are the same, but 

they all stem from the genus of the flowering plant called 

Cannabis. The species name is Cannabis Sativa L, while Cannabis 

Sativa and Cannabis Indica are subspecies. 

Cannabis Sativa is indigenous to Afghanistan and Eastern 

Asia and typically grows in warm regions at low elevations. 

These plants are tall and spindly with spread out flowers and 

narrow leaves. 

Cannabis Indica grows in cooler regions at higher elevations. 

These plants are short and stocky, with wide leaves and 

dense flowers. Indicas are better adapted to grow the varieties 

with a higher level of CBD. These are becoming more well 

known today. Indica plants grow best outdoors in the West 

Kootenay region while most Sativas would need to be grown 

indoors due to our short and cooler growing seasons. 

The medicinal components of cannabis are found predominantly 

in the flower of the female plant in the sticky, 

crystal-like hairs called trichomes. If a female plant remains 

unpollinated by a male plant, she will create big, beautiful 

flowers, commonly known as buds. Typically, male plants are 

destroyed to avoid pollination, unless a gardener is keeping 

them safely separated for breeding purposes. Once a female 

plant has been pollinated, she creates seeds in the flowers 

which lowers the medicinal potency in the trichomes. 

Sativa and Indica subspecies have erroneously been associated 

with different effects on the body. While it may be helpful 

to know if your cannabis is derived from an Indica plant 

vs. a Sativa plant to understand the medical implications, 

there is much more to the story than this alone. Culturally, 

we’ve considered that Indica flowers cause a sedating effect 

and a Sativa flower to be energizing. But there are exceptions 

and inconsistencies to this understanding. In a future article 

we will look at additional factors that impact our responses, 

like the cannabinoid ratio and terpene profile.

For the Love of Lichen 

Field work to conserve old growth forests and caribou habitat 

in the North Columbia mountains began this month. 

The project that we’re embarking on is identifying, assessing, 

and advocating for the protection of endangered old growth 

forest in the Inland Temperate Rainforest. Not a lot of ground 

assessment has been done in the Inland Temperate Rainforest, 

and often those who visit the region are doing so for logging 

purposes. On some days, 500, 600, 800-year-old trees are coming 

out of these valleys loaded on logging trucks. Often, we 

don’t know what we’re losing. 

To document what’s at stake, Eddie Petryshen, our Conservation 

Specialist, visited the globally rare and irreplaceable 

ecosystem with Toby Spribille (the scientist who discovered 

that lichens can consist of multiple fungal partners, not just 

one) to research new-to-science and rare lichens and field 

assess endangered Inland Temperate Rainforest stands.

Winter fishing 

Lake Fishing The winter season is prime 

fishing time. Because of the depth of Kootenay 

Lake and the flow of the cu rents in the A row 

Lakes (both lakes are like widened areas of 

the Columbia River system), the water never 

freezes. Some people claim that wintertime 

fishing on the lakes is the best. You need an 

assortment of lures. Bucktails, plugs, apexes, 

Bi l Normans, and flasher/hoochies. That should 

Whitewater backcountry.

Ice Fishing If you have a sled you can 

acces some of the sma l alpine lakes that do 

freeze. Many of these are stocked courtesy 

of the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. 

Again check www.sitesandtrailsbc.ca Another 

exce lent source is www.gofishbc.com 

For ice fishing, it is important to go to areas 

of the lake where the fish are most likely to 

concentrate. Fo rainbow trout and eastern 

brook char, the best fishing is often done in 

water less than five metres deep; in many 

situations, fishing in depths of three metres

is located just 6 

km west of Salmo. 

It is a calm lake 

that is regularly 

stocked and it is 

sma l enough that 

it usua ly freezes in 

the winter. The lake is 

rich in underwater plant 

life which makes it a perfect 

environment for the many species of fish that 

have been introduced. Ye low perch, trout 

and bass are common, and are good eating. 

There is northern pike in the lake as we l (good

This important conservation project is made possible by the 

BC Conservation & Biodiversity Awards. We are looking forward 

to sharing our and Toby’s findings with you soon. Louisiana 

Pacific and BC Timber Sales have cumulatively proposed to log 

more than 620 hectares of low elevation old growth, the loss of 

which will severely fragment ancient forest and degrade core caribou 

habitat and limit connectivity. 

Rare lichens in BC’s inland temperate rely on old growth forest. 

Much of the region’s old-growth forest habitat for these species 

has been lost in the last 50 years in the inland rainforest region. 

As a consequence, population trends for all of these lichens are 

in a downward trend, and the remaining populations are increasingly 

fragmented in a drying and warming landscape. We need to 

protect these stands, not log them.

Selkirk College’s New President 

President Maggie Matear has been at the helm of the college 

since late-May. Settling in and getting familiar with her new role 

over the past three months, Matear is looking forward to welcoming 

students and staff back to a learning environment filled with 

promise. “There’s something about the energy that a building full 

of students brings,” says Matear. “The people who like to be in the 

post-secondary sector feed off that energy, so we’re all looking forward 

to September. There is an excitement around starting a new 

chapter of learning and achievement for students and staff alike.” 

Matear moved into the college’s top leadership position after 

an extensive nation-wide search to replace outgoing president 

Angus Graeme. She began her post-secondary career 30 years 

ago as a community adult educator, teaching and coordinating 

training programs in remote Indigenous communities. Since that 

time, Matear has worked primarily in rural communities in an 

impressive array of positions that include management consulting, 

strategic planning, stakeholder engagement and organizational 

development. Fuelled by core leadership values focused on 

respect for those around her, excellence and kindness, Matear is 

taking an inclusive approach to her new job. 

“One of my challenges will be how to build on all the great 

initiatives that have gotten us to this point,” says Matear, who 

arrived at the college from her position as Vice President of University 

Services, Finance & Administration at Yukon University 

in Whitehorse. “It’s ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’ and 

reaching further, as opposed to getting off and moving in a different 

direction.” 

During the transition in June, Graeme toured with Matear 

around the region to meet with staff at different locations and 

leaders in the communities that the college serves. 

“What I really appreciate is how much time community leaders 

had for Selkirk College,” says Matear, who has held leadership 

positions in economic and community development settings 

while serving on a wide range of non-profit boards. “I met with 

very busy people—mayors, CAOs, superintendents of school 

boards, First Nations representatives, executive directors of 

non-profits—all of them were happy to meet with us. It wasn’t 

challenging to set up these meetings, and it speaks really loudly 

of the reputation Selkirk College has developed as a true community 

partner. It was invigorating to discover that, and I look 

forward to continuing to meet with all of these people who really 

believe in the potential of where they live.” 

This September will mark the first full return to on-campus 

activity at Selkirk College since the pandemic turned the world 

upside-down in March 2020. New challenges have emerged that 

point to even greater emphasis on what post-secondary education 

can provide local economies. Addressing labour shortages 

and the need for more skilled workers begins in the classrooms, 

labs, studios and shops of Selkirk College. 

With more than 70 program offerings and anticipating up to 

2,500 students for the coming academic year, Selkirk College 

provides a range of academic, career, vocational and technical 

educational pathways. Like students anticipating the first day of 

classes, the new Selkirk College president is marking the days 

until an exciting new learning chapter begins. 

“Selkirk College is a remarkable destination. It’s completely 

unique and it’s located in an absolutely beautiful location,” says 

Matear. “Most importantly, what takes place here on a daily basis 

changes lives by providing better opportunities for the future. I’m 

just so happy to be part of it.”
