 Wetlands - Puddle Projects

Puddle Project (GIS, Compass and Mapping Wetlands Project)

The Puddle Project involves the BC Wildlife Federation members and other interested mentors to offer them skills in GPS technology so they can accurately locate and maps wetlands in under one hectare in size. Participants are shown how to target municipal planning processes and generate great community awareness of the values that wetlands bring to human communities.

Over the course of a one-day workshop, the Puddle Project provides volunteers with hands-on experience that demonstrate the relationship between wetland ecosystems and human health and skills to map wetlands using GPS technology. Participants will also walk away with a knowledge of conservation tools such as: land-use planning processes, advocacy and public education.
