Little Slocan River Riparian Restoration & Enhancement Education Site

ERC’s location at the confluence of the Slocan River and Little Slocan River is a unique and ecologically important wildlife corridor. ERC seeks to protect and restore the land in which we are privileged to operate on and steward in Sinixt təmxwúlaʔxw.

The Little Slocan River Riparian Restoration & Enhancement Education Site (LSR₃EES) has been in motion since 2020, and its goals include restoration of the riparian zones at ERC while simultaneously creating an outdoor, hands-on classroom at Elk Root Conservation Farm to share information and education with respect to the importance of being responsible environmental stewards of riparian zones on private lands.

In 2022, ERC was excited to see progress made on this large-scale project and new members join our passionate LSR₃EES team.

What’s next?

In 2023, our goal is to move forward with the revision and planning of LSR₃EES to be ‘shovel ready’ to move ahead with a project plan that focuses on riparian environmental land stewardship education in 2024/25.
