Wondering what sort of New Year's Resolutions to make this year? Why not take inspiration from local habitats? Check in each week in January for a new nature-inspired resolution.


Resolution #1: Be like a wetland and absorb as much as you can. Don't forget about filtration!

Wetlands can absorb thousands of gallons of water during spring melt and high stream flows, which helps reduce flooding. In addition to that, the plant roots also filter out pollutants and make the water cleaner. Aim to absorb as much new learning and knowledge as you can this year but don't forget to fact check and filter out anything false or misleading!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT >

We respectfully acknowledge that our stewardship work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) People. For countless generations, the Syilx People have cared for these lands, waters, plants, and wildlife through their knowledge, laws, and responsibilities to the natural world.

As an organization dedicated to conservation and stewardship, we recognize that caring for ecosystems is not a new practice but one that has been guided by Indigenous Peoples since time immemorial. We honour the Syilx Nation's enduring stewardship and commit to fostering respectful relationships with the land and with the people who have always called it home.

We all take care of the land and nature so that they thrive
