Our Fall Field Crew is now underway! Hannah Glass and Aislyn King are returning from our summer crew, while Hannah Hickli, Maya Irwin, Jonathan Velarde, and Chelsea Nuez are new this season. We are excited to welcome them all to the HAT team!

This season’s crew is a shared crew model, which was created through the Coastal Douglas-fir Conservation Partnership’s Oak and Prairie working group. The aim of this new crew structure is to help foster collaboration between organizations and help increase local capacity to restore Oak ecosystems. As a part of this, the crew will work at over ten partner sites protecting Prairie-Oak ecosystems including at Sidney Island, Salt Spring Island, and the Cowichan Valley. They will also get the opportunity to participate in Indigenous-led restoration work.

Stay tuned on our Instagram and Facebook pages for updates from the field!
