Annual Land Manager Conference
Two and a half day conference that allows SALT staff, ISC staff and First Nation communities in the province to come together and offer a platform for knowledge to be shared, enhance skills and bring up and address common challenges that communities are facing. The goal of this conference is to have a yearly touch base to ensure that knowledge mobilization on evolving programs is happening regardless of turnover rates.
Annual Drone Training
SALT has partnered with Blackhawk Aeronautical Solutions to provide a three-day training session on utilizing a drone. Providing this technical training allows communities to have ownership of seeing how their land is changing and allow for monitoring opportunities.
Annual Pasture Management and Rider Training
This program will look at a mixture of in-class and field training. Topics covered will range from identifying healthy range land, weeds, and wetland health. Horse handling and effective pasture management will be a focus.
Annual Introduction of Survey Basics
