SUMMARY:Self-Paced Online: RX-310 Introduction to Fire Effects
DESCRIPTION:RX-310 is an introductory\, self-paced online course designed to help you understand how fire interacts with various ecosystems. It’s based on NWCG standards and objectives wtih a Canadian and American lens. The course takes approximately 30 hours\, including time for online videos\, interactive exercises\, learning reviews\, and reviewing your student manual. \nBut RX-310 isn’t just for fire practitioners\, it’s also designed for biologists\, ecologists\, and land managers who want a deeper understanding of how fire interacts with ecosystems. Whether you’re focused on wildlife\, invasive species\, fisheries\, vegetation dynamics\, or cultural values\, this course offers practical\, science-based insights into the short- and long-term effects of fire across diverse landscapes.

SUMMARY:Environmental Technician Certificate Program
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Technician Certificate Program (ETCP) is a five-week\, 200-hour training course designed to prepare participants for work as environmental monitors in natural resource sectors. The program includes both classroom and field-based instruction\, with field training scheduled on most days. It is intended for individuals seeking to develop or enhance skills relevant to environmental monitoring. Typical participants include field technicians\, resource workers\, First Nations representatives\, individuals entering the industry\, and graduates of environmental post-secondary programs. \nThe ETCP is accredited through the College of Applied Biology and meets the educational criteria for the Applied Biology Technician designation.

SUMMARY:BC Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia (OAH) Action Forum
DESCRIPTION:On March 3\, 2026\, the BC Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia (OAH) Action Forum\, hosted by the Tula Foundation\, will be held at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre in Nanaimo.  \n​This gathering will unite scientists\, government representatives\, Indigenous groups\, community members\, and members of the seafood industry to reflect on progress made through BC’s OAH initiatives. Organizers aim to chart the next phase toward protecting the province’s marine ecosystems and coastal economies from ocean acidification and hypoxia\, two major stressors associated with climate change.  \n​Ocean acidification and hypoxia pose major risks to BC’s seafood industries\, with projected losses in the hundreds of millions by 2050. In response\, the Province of BC released the BC OAH Action Plan in 2023\, developed with input from scientists\, communities\, Indigenous groups\, and government representatives. Since its release\, the Province has invested $1.7 million into 11 OAH research and mitigation projects through the Climate Ready BC Seafood Program. \n​The goals of the forum are to: \n\nAssess achievements and opportunities within the Climate Ready BC Seafood Program;\nSummarize ongoing OAH mitigation efforts across all sectors;\nDocument accomplishments and remaining needs under the BC OAH Action Plan;\nBridge knowledge\, networks\, and efforts to foster long-term collaborations supporting sustainable OAH initiatives.\n\n​The forum and its outputs will be critical in identifying priority next steps to help safeguard coastal resources against OAH\, in alignment with the BC provincial governments Coastal Marine Strategy and Climate Preparedness and Adaptation Strategy.There will be an online option for those unable to attend in person.  \n​To receive updates and registration details\, please complete the interest form at:  \nhttps://forms.gle/oiC56XGwqECq8dwD7

SUMMARY:Northern B.C. Ecosystem Restoration Community of Practice Webinar: Managing Invasive Reed Canarygrass - Catherine Tarasoff\, Agrowest
DESCRIPTION:Part of the Northern BC CoP: Lunch ‘n’ Learn Webinar Series\nFormat: 45-minute talk followed by 15-minute Q&A \nJoin Catherine Tarasoff from Agrowest Consulting Scientists for a talk about cutting edge management tactics for reed canarygrass. Reed canarygrass is one of our most widely distributed and aggressive riparian invasive species. Catherine will highlight her research using UAVs (drones) for mapping and benthic barriers for control of reed canarygrass. \nCatherine will share results from current work using benthic barriers to control the invasive plant reed canarygrass. She has had phenomenal success with spontaneous native plant regeneration following the removal of reed canarygrass. As well\, Catherine is underway with a challenging project using UAVs to map reed canarygrass along riparian corridors. She has excellent preliminary results to share with the group; and\, some practical application tidbits for those considering using UAVs for mapping.
