CKISS is teaming up with the Slocan Lake Stewardship Society (SLSS) to run a Community Weed Pull event in the Slocan Valley. The weed pull will take place at the Hunter Siding wetland just north of Hills BC. This site is part of  SLSS’ Bonanza Biodiversity Corridor Project which contributes significantly to the functioning of the Slocan Lake Watershed.

We need your help cutting invasive bull thistle at Hunter Siding!  Thistle outcompetes native plant species and ultimately disrupts an area’s ecosystem complexity. These disturbances result in reduced habitat suitability and support for wildlife.
