SUMMARY:Galiano Island Wetlandkeepers Workshop
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE \nThe BC Wildlife Federation’s Wetlands Education Program presents Wetlandkeepers\, a free public workshop. Wetlands can filter water\, mitigate flooding\, and provide critical habitat to hundreds of species. Unfortunately\, wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate and need our protection. \nBCWF’s Wetlandkeepers Course is a 2.5 Day workshop that educates participants about wetland conservation. Upon community request\, BCWF hosts the Wetlandkeepers workshop to cover topics of interest to community stewardship groups. Each workshop is unique\, but will cover basics such as: \n\nwetland plant ID\nsoil sampling\nwetland classification\nmonitoring your local wetlands\nand more\n\nDuring this workshop\, you’ll have a chance to learn about the wetland restoration work by the Galiano Conservancy Association. Explore why and how wetlands have been restored on Galiano Island over the last 4 years\, as well as future plans for restoration and enhancement. Then\, join one of B.C. Wildlife Federation’s Senior Field Technicians\, Kendall McLaughlin to learn all about amphibians! \nWetlandkeepers is a mix of hands-on fieldwork and in-class presentations that provide participants with the technical skills to steward their own wetland. Upon completion of the workshop\, participants receive a Wetlandkeepers Certificate and are provided follow up support from the Wetlands Education Program team. \nFor more information\, you may contact:\nAlana Higginson\, Wetlands Education Program Coordinator\n604-882-9988 ext 304\nwep@bcwf.bc.ca

SUMMARY:Make a Difference Week Volunteer Days
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nFor the fourth year running\, the Galiano Conservancy is celebrating international Make a Difference Week as part of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. \nVolunteer days will take place on June 6 and 7 at the Millard Learning Centre.  Participants will get a chance to learn about and work with native plants from the nursery to the forest. \nDay 1: We will be moving native plants and setting up sustainable watering infrastructure (water mats with a wicking system) which will help us to greatly reduce the water needed to care for the plants that we grow for restoration projects and for individuals to plant in their homes. \nDay 2: We will be weeding\, mulching and caring for the Nuts’a’maat Forage Forest. \nParticipants should come prepared for the weather in comfortable clothes and shoes that they can get dirty. Please bring your own drinking water and all food needed. Friday you will have access to potable water but there will be no snacks. Galiano is only accessible by ferry so please plan accordingly with the ferry schedule. There is the potential for camping available for participants that want to do both days. Those who are interested can email nursery@galianoconservancy.ca for details. \nVolunteers help remove introduced yellow-flag iris as part of Make A Difference Week 2022

SUMMARY:GCA Supporter Appreciation Event
DESCRIPTION:The Galiano Conservancy team is so very grateful for your support this past year. From helping people of all ages connect to the natural world\, to restoring wetland habitat at the Millard Learning Centre\, to protecting the missing piece in the Mid-Island Protected Areas Network and the sensitive Garry Oak habitats of Mt Sutil with our valued conservation partners\, we accomplished much in 2023 thanks to the generous contributions of donors & volunteers like you. \nIf you donated or volunteered for the GCA in 2023\, you will receive an invitation by email and we hope you join us for our annual Supporter Appreciation Event to celebrate these important achievements\, which would not have been possible without your support. The event will be catered by chef Josh Blumenthal of Oxeye Galiano. \nOptional walks to the newly-acquired Quadra Hill property will be led by Chessi Miltner at 10am and 11:30am. \nStand of mature CDF forest at Quadra Hill.
