Elk Root Conservation Farm Society

Farming Conservation at Elk Root The vision is a thriving fish, wildlife and human population in the Slocan Valley and Little Slocan River watershed that is functioning and sustainable.

The not-for-profit mission is to alleviate food insecurity, and to protect, restore and enhance fish, wildlife and pollinator habitat demonstrated by example through boots-on-the-ground habitat conservation projects and by offering inclusionary and inspiring learning opportunities through research, innovation, and hands-on education at Elk Root Conservation’s Educational Demonstration Farm. The educational workshops focus on ecological stewardship, wildlife conservation and habitat restoration, honey bee wellness and wild pollinator gardens, sustainability, regenerative ‘beyond’ organic gardening, biodiverse farming practices and local food security.
