Join us for the Winter Stewardship Film and Presentation event! Kootenay Native Plant Society (KNPS) and Friends of Kootenay Lake Stewardship Society (FoKLSS) celebrate the beauty and resilience of wetlands and pollinator habitats in the Kootenay region, while highlighting local, community-led conservation efforts.
Join us on Sunday, February 22, 2026 at the Nelson United Church, to celebrate the wetlands that feed Kootenay Lake, with films that highlight local wildlife, water, and the people working to protect these ecosystems. Doors open at 6:00 pm.
Following the film screenings, KNPS will share highlights from the Milkweed & Monarchs (M&Ms) program, a locally driven, community-based effort to support the endangered Western Monarch butterfly. The presentation will explore what KNPS has learned through years of research on wild Showy Milkweed populations and the creation of the Nelson Monarch Waystation, and how these collaborative projects are how these collaborative projects are helping to design and create safe havens here in the Kootenays that connect fragmented habitats along the Monarchs’ migration route, while building momentum to expand local pollinator stewardship into the future.
Your registration supports FoKLSS and KNPS in education, restoration, and community stewardship. Come learn, connect with neighbours, and leave with practical ways to care for the lake and its surrounding wetlands.
