habitat. They cover less than 1% of British Columbia, but provide habitat for over 30% species at risk.<\/p>\n<p>A few important roles that grasslands provide include erosion protection, water regulation, filtration and supply, as well as protection from drought and flood. Grasslands are habitat for wildlife, including at-risk species. We need these habitats of the pollination for agriculture and local food supply. They are also important for tourism (hunting, fishing, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, backpacking and camping), and providing recreation and cultural opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>When a grassland is once lost is the service often lost forever and it\u2019s very difficult to replace them. To let it rest is the best way to restore a grassland that process can take several decades.<\/p>\n<p>Grasslands are the most dramatically affected ecosystem on earth because of humans. They covered one time 40% of the North America continent. Today there are less than 1% remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Local governments are beginning to protect grasslands in British Columbia through parks and natural areas policy, and open space areas in respect of grassland ecosystems such as mature forest and old growth forest. Some are working on partnerships to share knowledge and resources for rice environmental planning.<\/p>\n<p>Kamloops created an Aberdeen area plan, contain to growth to protecting areas deemed high priority for conservation and compression areas of grassland.<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, the grassland projects high priority is to conserve, restore and protect grasslands in British Columbia. The projects are important for tourism, conserving habitat for wildlife species, and our food supply.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all one circulation of nature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-3003-0-2\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-3003-0-2-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_nav_menu panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-3003-0-2-0\" ><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Protected Areas<\/h3><ul id=\"menu-protected-areas\" class=\"menu\"><li  class=\"menu-duffey-lake-park menu-item-2836 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/duffey-lake-park\/\"><span>Duffey Lake Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-marble-canyon-park menu-item-2842 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/marble-canyon-park\/\"><span>Marble Canyon Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-goldpan-park menu-item-2843 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/goldpan-park\/\"><span>Goldpan Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-bridge-river-delta-park menu-item-2848 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/bridge-river-delta-park\/\"><span>Bridge River Delta Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-seton-portage-historic-park menu-item-2851 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/seton-portage-historic-park\/\"><span>Seton-Portage Historic Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-yalakom-creek-park menu-item-2872 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/yalakom-creek-park\/\"><span>Yalakom Creek Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-south-chilcotin-mountain-park menu-item-2873 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/south-chilcotin-mountain-park\/\"><span>South Chilcotin Mountain Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-stein-valley-nlakapamux-heritage-park menu-item-2874 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/stein-valley-nlakapamux-heritage-park\/\"><span>Stein Valley Nlaka\u2019pamux Heritage Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-skwaha-lake-ecological-reserve menu-item-2875 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/skwaha-lake-ecological-reserve\/\"><span>Skwaha Lake Ecological Reserve<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-skihist-park menu-item-2876 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/skihist-park\/\"><span>Skihist Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-skihist-ecological-reserve menu-item-2877 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/skihist-ecological-reserve\/\"><span>Skihist Ecological Reserve<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-gwyneth-lake-park menu-item-2878 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/gwyneth-lake-park\/\"><span>Gwyneth Lake Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-french-bar-creek-park menu-item-2879 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/french-bar-creek-park\/\"><span>French Bar Creek Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-fred-antoine-park menu-item-2880 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/fred-antoine-park\/\"><span>Fred Antoine Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-cerise-creek-park menu-item-2881 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/cerise-creek-park\/\"><span>Cerise Creek Park<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li  class=\"menu-grasslands-in-british-columbia menu-item-3005 menu-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lillooet.stewardship.foundation\/environmental-sections\/protected-areas\/grasslands\/\"><span>Grasslands in British Columbia<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Main Sections Grasslands are open landscapes where grasses or grass-like plants dominant the habitat.
