Key Resources

Attention Educators in BC! Join Invasive-Wise Education for a free and engaging virtual visit to your classroom, one-on-one support to teach about and take action on invasive species in your community, and free bonus resources for your learners! Our lessons help connect students to local places and community. Learning about and taking action on invasive species is an act of reconciliation. We work closely with Indigenous communities and incorporate First Peoples' perspectives into our resources. The ISCBC also supports youth aged 15-30 with microgrants for environmental stewardship projects.
