Military exercise helping restore Lower Kootenay Band wetlands

Military exercise helping restore Lower Kootenay Band wetlands SHARE ON: Troops, trucks and explosions in the Creston Valley? This is only a drill. On February 20th, soldiers primarily from 44 Engineer Squadron based in Trail and Cranbrook will be honing their skills while also pitching in with wetland restoration on Lower Kootenay Band (LKB) territory. Major Nils French said military personnel will blast holes in such a way that allows for water to flow back, creating wetland over time albeit in a more dramatic manner. “It gives a more natural dispersion when the soil is spread,” said French. “The military engineers use the explosives to do what we call cratering. In this case, it’s not so much a trench but a pond as there will be a cluster, not a line.”
