Where is the Redstreak Restoration Project?

The Redstreak Restoration Area Southwestern end of Kootenay National Park of Canada adjacent to Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia. Kootenay National Park is the only British-Columbia National Park containing the grassland ecosystem.

Grasslands occur mainly on the dry eastern side of the many north-south mountain ranges that dominate the landscape of British Columbia. The complex mountainous landscape of British Columbia has generated much more diversity in our grasslands compared to those in the large plateau landscapes of the western United States.
