This spring (2025), the Village of Kaslo, removed an old pumphouse on the Kaslo River North Trail, leaving some bare open ground.

In May, 2025, the Kaslo Outdoor Recreation and Trails Society were the first group to take advantage of Free Milkweeds for Restoration Projects from KNPS.  Volunteers planted more than 100 native plants, including showy milkweed (especially for Monarch butterflies, seen in 2024 at Meadow Creek), Western Canada goldenrod, aster species, pearly everlasting, roundleaf alumroot, Douglas Maple, sedge, and yarrow, among others. Plants came from KNPS and donations by volunteers of KORTS.

 The restoration planting was done in support of the Pollination Pathway Project to protect and enhance habitat for local pollinators.
