We are thrilled to announce that we have now hired a full-time contract Garry oak ecosystem restoration youth crew! This crew has been made possible through new one-year Conservation Economic Stimulus Initiative funding provided by the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy as part of the B.C. Economic Recovery Plan.

From June 1st to November 30th, this crew will be working on restoring habitat on HAT's protected lands and conservation covenants across the region, through removing invasive vegetation and planting native plants. Stay tuned for more crew updates on HAT's social media channels over the next few months, as they showcase this amazing restoration work, and the changes their efforts make over time! We can't wait to share some of these beautiful moments and stories with you.

Thank you to our funders: Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy, and #BCRecoveryPlan.
