Have an Impact

We are looking for community members to join us and to participate in Make a Difference Week, from June 4th to 12th. This week, which formally launches the Decade and starts on World Environment Day, aims to coalesce our collective work around one energetic moment. Restoration events around the world will be organized and shared, celebrating the start of a promising new restoration era. Regionally here in BC, we are hoping to create a collaborative seven days, tracking local restoration events, sharing news and media around them, and connecting stewardship groups together.​

Picture
​Our Vancouver Island Decade on Ecological Restoration logo was developed by our Project Lead, Rachel Higgins, which incorporates the official United Nations Decade symbol created by emerging W̱SÁNEĆ Coast Salish artist Sarah Jim. 

All proceeds for our hoodies and t-shirts go towards the family of David Polster, a pillar and leader of the ecological restoration community who has, of recent, experienced a turn in health and has had to retire from the activities he loves most. Please consider purchasing our merchandise to support David's family.

#GenerationRestoration
We work on the traditional territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples. The Songhees and Esquimalt, as well as the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples have deep, historical relationships with the land that continue to this day. Most of our group are uninvited settlers here. We are committed to deepening our understanding of how we can assist in the movement of reconciliation, dismantling the systems that continue to cause harm, and honoring the traditional stewards that have shaped this land.
