Saturday September 18, 2021 – Nelson Communities Pulling Together Event. Seeking volunteers to help us remove yellow flag iris.

We are collaborating with the West Kootenay Eco Society to host a Community Weed Pull event along the shores of Kootenay Lake. We need your help digging out yellow flag iris! Yellow flag iris outcompetes native plant species and ultimately disrupts an area’s ecosystem complexity. These disturbances result in reduced habitat suitability and support for wildlife – especially for breeding, staging, and migrating waterfowl.
