In May, the wildflower meadows of the Skattebo Reach Trail in Castlegar come alive with vibrant blooms and the pollinators that depend on them. Join us for a truly special, small-group experience designed for the science-curious and nature-loving alike.
Spend the morning immersed in these stunning landscapes alongside esteemed local experts. Participants will rotate through guided sessions with each expert, gaining hands-on insight into meadow ecology, native plants, bees, butterflies, and moths.
Expect exciting in-the-field discoveries, species identification, and a deeper understanding of how these interconnected systems support biodiversity.
This unique outing is perfect for students of biology, amateur naturalists, pollinator enthusiasts, and local residents eager to explore and better understand the natural beauty of their own backyard. By experiencing native plants and pollinators in their home environment, participants will gain practical knowledge and inspiration to become stronger environmental stewards, whether through habitat restoration, volunteering, or planting native species at home.
As climate change and habitat fragmentation threaten native plants and pollinators, community engagement has never been more important. Together, we can help protect these vital ecosystems and support the biodiversity that sustains us all.
