  • Interior Watershed Task Force

    The Interior Watershed Task Force is a coalition of more than twenty NGOs, Community Organizations, and Professionals that was initiated in 2023.  The IWTF advocates for the legal protection and preservation of water, primary and natural forests, wildlife and critical habitats in the BC interior. We are based in the Okanagan region of BC and respectfully live and work on ancestral territories of several First Nations.

    After her Grand Forks home flooded in 2017 and 2018, Jennifer became involved in reforming forestry in BC. She co-founded Boundary Forest Watershed Stewardship Society along with a small group of locals concerned about the damage from industrial logging to local ecosystems. Jennifer has filmed the effects of the flooding on local people. She was lead organizer of Forest March BC, forestry summits, and runs the Facebook group BC Forestry Reform. She continues to speak, present, and collaborate with BC grassroots groups to drive for forest management to prioritize ecosystems and local communities rather than corporate profits.

  • Lakes, streams and wetlands of the Peachland Creek Watershed

    In the map below, named watersheds are shown as a semi-transparent background colour. Lakes are darker blue, streams are light blue and wetlands are light green. The size of the component parts of the watershed and the name of the larger watershed this are contributes to can be found by clicking on a coloured area.

    Zoom into and out of the map using the + or - buttons. Pan around the map by clicking it and dragging.

    Does your forest conservation organization need a map like this for your area of interest? Let us know and we will make one for you.
