Working for Camas Conservation in Millennium Park, Castlegar
Some of the most intact and productive communities of camas (Camassia quamash) remain in Millennium Park, as well as at adjacent locales, kp’itl’els (Lower Brilliant Terrace) and the Oxbow (below Selkirk College), occurring around the confluence of the Kootenay and Columbia rivers. Learn more about the importance of camas in the BC Interior on the Camas page (under “Our Work”).
Once again this year KNPS is restoring meadows on Kootenay Lake!
This year we will continue to work with our Kootenay Lake community partners on their newly developing wildflower meadows to support native pollinators as part of our Wildflowers for Pollinators: Citizen Science Meadowscaping Project (W4P). Project supported by the Kootenay Lake Local Conservation Fund! Find out more about the project here.
“…the single most effective action you can take [to support bees and pollination services] is to plant native wildflower habitat.”
