INVITATION FROM THE GCC
Our province’s grasslands and their extraordinary beauty have a special place in our culture, ecology and economy, as well as in British Columbian’s hearts. Since 1999, the GGC has worked with dedicated people and organizations from all over BC to conserve these unique landscapes. Now is the perfect time to come together to celebrate the beautiful and rare grasslands we all work and care for!
Please join us in our celebration on Saturday, June 12th. Explore and experience the grasslands around Kamloops on a full day of fun, discovery and great food!
Full schedule and registration packages are attached, but for further information and to see a slide show of children’s grassland art, please visit www.bcgrasslands.org.
