BCIT South Wetland Restoration project brings education to life
“BCIT worked extremely hard over the summer with the faculty to figure out how we were going to deliver a traditionally very hands-on program — like ecological restoration — to the students, and do it in a COVID-19 compliant way,” says Ken Ashley, Director of the BCIT Rivers Institute, standing at the site of the school’s first ever wetland, located near Lot L and surrounded by trees.
The hands-on experience of building and restoring a real-life wetland is an important part of the Ecological Restoration Degree Program at BCIT, including the undergraduate class, Wetland and Estuary Restoration.
