In support of the recent launch of the Keeping Nature Connected website, the OCCP and TNCC teamed up with The Nature Educator (Rachael Tancock) to answer the question: What are Wildlife Corridors? Rachael's answer comes in the form of a short video reel where she provides a straightforward (and quick) explanation. She also explains their critical importance to wildlife and the health of the land and communities we live in.

Kanamalka, Kalamalka or K'nmalka? A brief digression
Rachael mentioned the 65km long Okanagan Lake and Kanamalka Corridor. The OCCP usually calls it the Okanagan Mountain-K’nmalka Wildlife Corridor, but sometimes also uses Okanagan Mountain-Kalamalka Wildlife Corridor. Kalamalka is simply the anglicized version of k'nmalka.
