WHEN: Monday, Nov 16, 5:00 – 7:00 pm
WHERE: Woodhaven Ecoculture Centre (see here for directions)
WHAT: Have you ever wondered what kind of local species and plants are native to the Okanagan? Are you curious to learn more about stewardship projects occurring in the Okanagan? Alyson Skinner and Lia McKinnon, local biologists with the Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship (OSS), will walk us through the basics of the kind of stewardship and conservation efforts that have been around, and what their focus is for this year. We will have our typical community meal gathering to meet other Okanagan plant enthusiasts and plan how we can support each other in caring for the land.
The event will be mostly outside, so please dress for the weather, though we can move indoors if it rains. Dunnenzies will provide pizza, but feel free to bring additional snacks to share if you’d like!

If you do or want to get involved in stewardship and land healing work, Plant People Gatherings are the place for you! We invite experts, community members, and knowledge keepers when they are available to build connections, think about how we can care for the land around us, bring ourselves into good relationships to this place and support syilx-led stewardship initiatives as best we can. We typically gather once a month (ish) to build relationships and learn about stewardship work that is happening in the Okanagan
If you want an email reminder for the next Plant People Gathering, or want to stay up to date with our events, sign up for our mailing list here.
All FEELed Lab events strive to be feminist, anticolonial, antiracist, queer and accessible spaces.
