This large and challenging project will see intact bog protected, and many hectares of bog that were mined for peat in the 50s and 60s restored over the next decade or so.

Trinity Western University Natural Resources Management Department students will use the bog as a 'living lab', and they and local volunteers will install boardwalks, viewing platforms, cedar rail fences, signage - all designed to encourage low-impact public enjoyment of this very unusual ecosystem. The bog is home to the blue-listed Greater Sandhill Crane, and the goal is to make these big birds even more secure in the future than they have been in the recent past.
