RISO tour 2026!

Last week our executive director Jessica (right) and Operations Manager Sydney (left) got to visit our colleagues in Lillooet BC. They demonstrated how the land is regenerating after a devastating wildfire in 2023 and unfortunately what invasive species are moving in.

There are no days off when it comes to invasive species management

The busy field season is almost at it's end, so for this we would like to highlight one of our away trips to Kyuquot on the West coast of Vancouver Island where we focused on invasive plant management to protect culturally important ecosystems. The Ka:'yu:'k't'h'/Che:k'tles7et'h' First Nation people have lived in this region for several millennia. Check out their website https://kyuquotbc.ca/ to learn more about the rich culture they uphold.

Field work in its many forms, and we love it all!
Our crew worked hard this summer doing mechanical removal and surveying to keep invasive species from spreading into our native ecosystems.

And just like that, we’re saying goodbye to our 2026 summer crew!

It’s been such a great summer having Maya, Jillian and Vivianne out in the field with us. From long days in the field to invasive plant removals, new places and lots of learning along the way, we’re so grateful for all the work they’ve put in this season.

Maya is heading off on a backpacking adventure, Jillian will be continuing to build her experience in the environmental sector over the winter, and Vivianne is off to the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre for her fall semester.

We’re so excited to see where each of you goes next and can’t wait to see all the things you accomplish. Thanks for being such an important part of the team this summer, and best of luck with your next adventures!

Sounds of the west coast during field season !

This week, Paige and Vivianne took the crew on the road!

They started out on the Southern Gulf Islands, tackling gorse removal and helping reduce the spread of this highly invasive species. From there, it was time to head to the West Coast, where they shifted gears to respond to a knotweed infestation.

Two invasive species, two very different landscapes, and a whole lot of field work in between.

From island to island, our crews are out there protecting native ecosystems and working to help keep invasive species from gaining ground.

They might look alike but they are definitely not the same! Scotch Broom and Gorse are both invasive species commonly found throughout BC. Keep watching to learn how to identify these two species.
