Title: Observations on the fish and aquatic ecology of Buttle Lake
Speaker: Paige Stuart
Date: Tuesday, August 27, 2024
Time: 7:00 p.m. PT
See the registration link below.
Situated at the heart of Strathcona Provincial Park, Buttle Lake, which was once home to large trout populations, has never recovered from the twin impacts of the building of the Upper Campbell Dam (1958) and the mining impacts of the Westmin Mine at Myra Falls. The impacts have drawn attention to short studies, notably by Dr. Tom Northcote from 1962 to 2000. Paige Stuart has reviewed the literature to date and carried out a series of preliminary observations to determine knowledge gaps and understand the situation limiting recovery.
