The Rossland Library will be displaying the Trail Creek Watershed 3D Model until after World Water Day on Thursday, March 22.

This year’s theme — Nature for Water — explores how we can use nature to overcome the water challenges of the 21st century.

The fabrication of the Trail Creek Watershed 3D model was completed in February thanks to the initiative and collaboration of Bill Coedy of the Rossland Society for Environmental Action’s Streamkeepers, Jason Taylor, chair of Selkirk College School of the Arts and the MIDAS Fab Lab.

This project could not have been completed without the financial support from the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) Area B and the Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP).

The model is available to be used for public outreach and educational sessions in the watershed area — the City of Rossland, RDKB Area B, the Village of Warfield and the City of Trail — and will be housed at the RDKB’s Trail office.
