Not all green is good: interview with the Squamish Chief

We were recently contacted by Bhagyashree Chatterjee, Indigenous & civic affairs reporter at the Squamish Chief, about how local residents can get support invasive species control and the involvement of local Indigenous groups in SSISC’s operations.

The article covered:

• The links between knotweed, erosion and flooding
• Squamish Nation’s involvement in SSISC’s work
• The role of volunteers in monitoring for European green crabs in Átl’ka7tsem / Howe Sound
• How local residents can do their part, for instance by following Play Clean Go principles or reporting sightings of invasive species.

It’s heart-warming to notice the local media’s interest in environmental initiatives and biodiversity. Thanks for the opportunity, The Squamish Chief! You can read the full article on their website.
