UNBC researchers get funding
PRINCE GEORGE – A group of researchers from the University of Northern British Columbia has secured $800,000 in funding to continue exploring important issues surrounding the Nechako River Basin.
The Integrated Watershed Research Group (IWRG) of UNBC has received a $400,000 grant from the Nechako Environmental Enhancement Fund (NEEF) and another $400,000 in matching funds from other sources for Phase 3 of an interdisciplinary research project that began in 2014.
“NEEF is proud to provide funding to support the UNBC Integrated Watershed Research Group for the continuation of research in the Nechako Watershed,” says NEEF Society Chair Ray Pillipow. “This research will support the key objectives of NEEF by establishing a greater understanding of factors needed to assist informed management decisions that benefit the Nechako Watershed and those who rely upon it.”
