For nearly 30 years, this event has taken place across the upper Columbia Mountains, bringing together individuals from the scientific community, Indigenous and provincial land management, stewardship organizations, naturalist groups, and local communities. The gathering provides updates on ecological projects occurring in southeastern British Columbia, within the territories of the Sinixt, Secwepemc, Ktunaxa, and Syilx Okanagan peoples. Topics typically include restoration efforts, community initiatives, ecosystem monitoring, research, field trials, and land stewardship. The event is held in an informal setting and is open to all interested participants.
