RDNO Considers Wildsafe Program

The Regional District of North Okanagan is considering whether to sign on to the Wildsafe BC program.

Wildsafe coordinator Frank Ritcey presented the idea at yesterday’s RDNO Board meeting.

Board Chair Bob Fleming says while most think of the usual human-wildlife conflict issues that arise, he noted one point in particular.

“Indication that rats are now starting to become something that they’re dealing with. Certainly Kelowna and Kamloops are both experiencing fairly significant problems. He said a lot of that is related to poor choices on how both compost and garbage are dealt with.”
