We will tour lower and middle grasslands in the Ashcroft area looking at native and seeded grasslands, wildfire recovery, invasive plants and grazing use. Led by Mike Dedels, Executive Director of the GCC (Grasslands Conservation Council). We will arrange carpooling from Kenna Cartwright Park parking just east of the prison. Please dress for the weather, wear good walking shoes and bring enough food and drink for the day.

Join award winning journalist, Mehdi Hasan, as he sits down with the Guardian’s Arwa Mahdawi to discuss the current seismic changes in geopolitics, the alarming rise of populism and nationalism, and it’s global implications.  They will be answering questions.  This will be a London based livestream event so please arrive on time and feel free to bring a lunch.

On this field trip, we will briefly review the different types of land conservation mechanisms in BC and then go for a short walk on NCC’s Lac du Bois Conservation Area to review of some of NCC’s more recent land management projects on the property. We will go for a meander and find a nice spot to have lunch and answer any questions participants have about NCC and the things we see that day.
