Restoration and Ecology of the Tranquille River Floodplain
April 18 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Leader: Jesse Ritcey
This is a morning field trip to Tranquille Pond and Tranquille Creek within the Lac du Bois Grasslands Protected Area, as well as to a lookout point over Kamloops Lake if time permits. On the tour, we will discuss the ecological importance of the area and highlight some of the restoration and cleanup work the club has been doing there. The trip will involve approximately 45 minutes of walking on uneven, but not steep, ground so wear comfortable walking shoes. Bring sun protection, water, and a light rain jacket. This area is rich in wildlife, so bringing a camera and/or binoculars is a good idea.
