About this Course

Join us in visiting the SṈIDȻEȽ Resiliency Project, an Indigenous-led land and village restoration project in Tod Inlet, Gowlland-Tod Provincial Park. Take part in healing work on the land in combination with sharing cultural and ecological teachings with the team from PEPÁḴEṈ HÁUTW̱ Foundation. This will include hands-on invasive species removal – please come prepared with sturdy shoes, gloves, weather appropriate layers and protection, and your own food and water for the day. Please be aware that the restoration sites are trail adjacent but take place on uneven terrain off the trail, and activities typically rely on being able to navigate that terrain and bend to the ground with shovels and hand tools. To learn more about PEPÁḴEṈ HÁUTW̱, visit: https://pepakenhautw.land/ Transportation and instructor fees are included. This program is offered for free thanks to a TD Friends of the Environment Fund grant. Accessibility Notes: • The Recreation Bus does not have a lift available.
