Taara Environmental has been contracted to write a baseline inventory and managment plan for the 380 acre Daphne Ogilvie Nature Reserve near Clinton BC. Home to over 90 species of birds and numerous species (such as Western Toad - photo) and ecosystems at risk, this project will inventory and map the reserve and help guide the NCC in future managment options.
