Shuswap Invasive Clam Meeting

On January 20, 2021, CSISS held a Shuswap Invasive Clam partner meeting with 72 attendees, including local and provincial government representatives, non-profits, Indigenous Peoples and other community members who are concerned about the recent discovery of invasive freshwater clams (Corbicula fluminea) in Shuswap Lake. See a summary of the meeting HERE.

Pollinator Garden Resources

Did you know Revelstoke is an official Bee City? The Bee City designation is a long-term commitment to protect pollinators and their habitats through collaborative and coordinated actions. CSISS will be helping to promote Revelstoke’s Bee City iniatives this year by encouraging residents to use native, pollinator friendly and non-invasive plants in their garden.

Are you busy planning your garden, ordering seeds for the spring and looking to learn more about how to support native pollinators? Check out this guide to selecting plants for pollinators in the Revelstoke, Golden or Shuswap regions. Make sure you are PlantWise and only use non-invasive plants for your garden!

Thank you to all of our funders in 2020!

Next Week is National Invasive Species Awareness Week!

February 22-26 is one of two National Invasive Species Awareness Weeks (NISAW) hosted by the Canadian Council on Invasive Species in 2021. Visit this page for more information about NISAW.
