We’re thrilled to share the success of our pilot year for the Kootenay Broombusters Program! This year, passionate volunteers took bold strides in removing invasive Scotch broom from sensitive areas on the East Shore of Kootenay Lake and in Procter. Their efforts have sparked hope for ecosystem recovery and community resilience. Check out our video to see the dedicated work in action!
As we look to expand the program in 2025, community support is essential. You can help us strengthen funding applications by filling out our expression of interest form and reporting any Scotch broom sightings.
The Kootenay Broombusters Program is proudly supported by the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) Local Conservation Fund, the Columbia Basin Trust, and the Government of BC.
