READ ABOUT CONSERVATION TARGETS FOR THE REGION

The south Okanagan Valley is an important conservation area for both common species and species at risk, nationally in Canada and provincially in British Columbia. The area is also an important low elevation corridor from the Great Basin north to grasslands in the Thompson and Fraser drainages in British Columbia. The South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program (SOSCP) was established in 2000 to conserve this important
landscape.
