Native plants<br />

reintroduced<br />

The Snk’mip Marsh Santuary is a 17.4 hectare<br />

wetland located at the north end of Slocan<br />

Lake. The wetland is a vital aquatic and riparian<br />

ecosystem because it is an important stopover<br />

for migrating birds, it is home to many species<br />

at risk, it is important for water filtration and<br />

flood control, and it acts as a carbon sink. After<br />

many years of industrial use, the site was purchased<br />

by Valhalla Foundation for Ecology in<br />

2017. They have been working to return the site<br />

to its previous state as a healthy wetland.<br />

Snk’mip is on Sinixt territory (Snk’mip is the<br />

Sinixt word for “head of the lake”). Therefore,<br />

consultation with a local Sinixt spokesperson<br />

has influenced the list of species planted. Notably,<br />

beaked hazelnut (Corylus cornuta) is a food<br />

which is traditionally harvested in this area.<br />

Many different native species were planted<br />

by community volunteers and Lucerne School<br />

students at Snk’mip this fall. Biologists recommended<br />

species that would benefit wildlife at<br />

Snk’mip. Red-osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera)<br />

was chosen as it provides food for moose<br />

and deer. The dogwood flowers feed beneficial<br />

pollinators and grouse like to eat the berries.<br />

The low, dense growth creates shady hiding<br />

places for reptiles and amphibians.<br />

Wetland restoration experts were also consulted.<br />

Black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera)<br />

was selected for its fast growth, this will<br />

help to quickly stabilize the soil and create<br />

shade. Mature cottonwoods create great wildlife<br />

trees which can benefit birds, insects and bats.<br />

Outdoor learning is still the best way to<br />

achieve social distancing, AND a whole host of<br />

other social, mental, and academic outcomes<br />

for your students, so don’t let winter curb your<br />

enthusiasm for outdoor learning. Veteran winter<br />

outdoor educator Dave Quinn will share<br />

some basic ideas, tips, and tools from over two<br />

decades of delivering experiential, outdoor<br />

winter programming for organizations like<br />

the Wildsight, Avalanche Canada, and his own<br />

Treehouse Outdoor Education to help make<br />

winter outdoor learning a regular part of your<br />

class routine.<br />
