Anna Milner is an environmental planner contracted through the South Okanagan-Similkameen Conservation Program (SOSCP) to provide planning services to small communities in the region. A unique partnership agreement between local governments, facilitated by SOSCP, and funded in part by a grant from the Real Estate Foundation of BC enables Anna to do planning work and "capacity building" in communities facing significant land use challenges. Without this partnership approach these communities would be unable to do imporant environmental and developmental assessment work in one of Canada's most sensitive ecosystems.
