(Insecta: Odonata) of the Columbia Basin, British Columbia: Field Surveys, Collections Development and Public Education Acknowledgements The Royal B.C. Museum and Columbia Basin Trust (Living Landscapes Project): contributed travel, equipment and salary costs. The B.C. Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks Conservation Data Centre contributed travel and salary costs. Parks Canada contributed staff time, lodging and logistical support within parks and funding for fieldwork and data analysis (1998). They also granted permission to collect in national parks in the region. B.C. Parks gave permission to collect in provincial parks in the region (1999). Volunteer field assistants were a critical part of the project. Some residents of the region and other volunteer naturalists helped collect specimens and data. These assistants are mentioned in the list of cooperatives in Appendix 3. Resident naturalists trained in these activities will contribute long-term information on the status of species and wetland habitats, and act as a core of local enthusiasts to encourage and train other interested people. The Habitat Conservation Trust Fund provided a grant for salary and travel expenses (1999). Blair Nikula (Lestes forcipatus, Somatochlora cingulata, S. forcipata, S. walshii) and Dennis Paulson (Calopteryx aequabilis, Aeshna tuberculifera, Ophiogomphus occidentis, Stylurus olivaceus) provided photographs not available in the RBCM collections.
