Michele and Dianne had a great time at the Green Fair in Armstrong last Saturday, connecting with community members about our wetland pond and the boardwalk we’re fundraising for. The weather couldn’t have been better, and Leslie’s new poster highlighting the many attributes of cattails sparked lots of interest & great conversations.

Thanks to Michele, many visitors left with our Co-op number (14227) and plans to support us on their next fill-up. We also loved seeing some budding artists enjoy the colouring table and take home their wetland creations.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat, learn, and support the project!

On Saturday, three of our members attended the first ever Neighborhood Day at the Allan Brooks Nature Centre in Vernon. There were numerous participants there – all representing organizations who, like the AWA, focus on nature and conservation.

There were interesting presentations throughout the day including one on the AWA’s wetland enhancement efforts in downtown Armstrong. The weather was great and the Samosas Joe’s van was right near our table!!

The colouring sheet was a huge hit for kids and engaged them while we talked to the parents!

Did you know BC’s grasslands cover just 1% of the province but support 30% of species at risk?

Come learn, explore, and meet the people protecting our region.

Short “Nature Nibbles” talks, migratory birds, wild plant foraging, hidden local gems, and more.

Saturday, 18th April in Vernon. Come curious. Leave inspired.

You can find Jill, Diane, and Leslie at their booth to learn more about wetlands.
