Welcome to the Columbia Basin Watershed Network
Paddling in the wetlands near Valemount, BC. The evening sun showing us just one more reason that our natural estuaries and watersheds are so important for all living things.
We support organizations, individuals and local water stewardship groups with an interest in conserving and monitoring our rivers and lakes throughout the Columbia Basin. The Watershed Network is a great way to learn about the successes and challenges of other watershed groups and to share experiences.
Let's works together!
GIS/Mapping Support Opportunity for Watershed Groups
Columbia Basin Trust in partnership with the Selkirk Geospatial Research Centre will be providing an opportunity for Columbia Basin Watershed Network groups to receive GIS/mapping support from Selkirk Geospatial Research Center. This work could include but is not limited to: assembling GIS data for use in GIS/Google Earth, GPS surveying, producing paper or digital map products and 3D visualizations, providing GIS or remote sensing analyses and conducting training on GIS, GPS and internet map resources. For more information, download the expression of interest form or see our Events & Training page.
