21 ANNUAL REPORT 2018–2019 IS Lynda Griffiths is doing her part to protect the place where she grew up. There’s a special place in southeastern British Columbia where snow-covered mountains nurture a vast expanse of protected inland temperate rainforest, creating a safe haven for wildlife great and small. Rising from the clear waters of Kootenay Lake to the bare alpine peaks of the South Selkirk Mountains, the Darkwoods Conservation Area anchors the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s (NCC’s) work in the West Kootenay region. But up until recently, there was something missing from this globally significant conservation area.
