Yet another federal government funding announcement, as the possibility of an election campaign lies just days away.
Thursday's announcement by Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan concerns Munson Pond.
The feds have handed over slightly more than $75,000 to support conservation efforts of the pond.
The riparian area will be expanded by eradicating noxious weeds and re-introducing native plants and trees.
Beyond the riparian area, upland forest will be re-established to create a fully functioning ecosystem supporting a variety of wildlife species including reptiles, amphibians and small mammals.
Approximately 9.8 hectares of habitat will be protected, 10,000 native plants and trees will be planted and 10 wildlife structures will be installed.
The money will be used primarily for materials and supplies and other funders for the project will be contributing 60% of the total project value.
Other funders include local schools, naturalist clubs and the City of Kelowna. This project supports the National Conservation Plan by conserving and restoring land and connects Canadian families to their natural spaces in the Okanagan region.
