PARTNERS

• Northern dragonfly inventory was the priority of the entomological research and inventory efforts of the Royal British Columbia Museum in its Living Landscapes project for 2000-07, a major effort to link regional participation with museum inventory, research and public activities.
• BC Ministry of Environment, through the BC Conservation Data Centre, was the main partner in the inventory. Other headquarters personnel of this ministry, as well as regional staff, also participated. BC Parks was a partner in the project, providing Park Use Permits and mapping and vegetation studies, and giving advice on study areas. Parks will use the information gathered for park interpretation and school programs.
• Habitat Conservation Trust Fund. Significant support from the fund financed the hiring of field contractors and coop students and supported field work in general (2000-2004). The production of detailed species distribution maps were also funded by the HCTF (2004).
• BC Ministry of Forests. The Research Branch supported the work which was designed to link inventory results to their wetland classification scheme.
• The University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) was a partner; entomologist Dr. S. Lindgren has helped with logistics. A synoptic collection of dragonflies from the project was deposited at UNBC to aid in future teaching and research.
• The Peace/Williston Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (BC Hydro) supplied some helicopter time in the 2000 field season. This shared helicopter use allowed the project to sample areas that were otherwise not accessible.
