We were thrilled to host a community focused nature walk along the historic Thompson Pack Trail in Creston where other local organizations came together in support. The event was a success and brought together a group of community members for an engaging journey through diverse ecosystems, from Douglas-fir forests to lush cedar-hemlock stands, and connected everyone with the living history of the trail. The trail led us to the Sullivan Creek bridge (group photo),

The East and West Kootenay Youth Climate Corps teams came together in Creston to complete training for their Basic Fire Suppression and Safety certificate and Basic Chainsaw Safety course, conducted by Loki Tree Service. This training equipped the crew with skills for their wildfire risk reduction project taking place in the Creston Community Forest this May, as well as skills for future environmental careers!
