Join us for a hands-on, community event at the Revelstoke Food Commons as part of Invasive Species Action Month!
Free & All Ages Welcome
Invasive species threaten food security, traditional harvesting, and ecosystem health. This event will explore how small actions can help protect local food systems—from farms to forests.
Event Highlights:
Welcome
Invasives 101: What invasive species are and why they matter.
Impacts on agriculture, First Foods, and foraging opportunities. Prevention tips and how to get involved
Site Tour: Guided walk through the food forest, mounds, and cover crop area.
What we will cover:
- Native and invasive plants, their uses and risks
- Soil health, seed dispersal, seasonal plant changes (phenology), and connections to food sovereignty and cultural knowledge
Whether you're a grower, forager, educator, or curious community member, this is a great chance to explore the Food Commons, learn something new, and connect with others.
