Sunday Talk: “Sharing the Landscape: Species at Risk and Stewardship in the Okanagan and Similkameen”
August 10 @ 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm PDT
When we look at the vast hills and mountains surrounding the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, it’s easy to assume there’s plenty of space left for wildlife. But for many species at risk, those spaces are shrinking.
In this insightful presentation, Lia McKinnon, Stewardship Biologist with the Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship Society, will explore the surprising ways humans and wildlife often compete for the same critical habitats. Focusing on a few key local species, Lia will share how OSS is working to restore and protect these environments—and how individuals, landowners, and communities can take meaningful action to support species at risk and help keep common species from becoming rare.
🗓️ Date: Sunday, Aug 10, 2025
🕜 Time: 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM
🎟️ Admission: Included with daily site admission OR free with a 2025 Season Pass.
About the Sunday Speaker Series:
Each Sunday from May through October, we welcome a new guest presenter into our Apple House to share fascinating stories and insights into the natural, cultural, and historical landscape of our region. Topics range widely—from Indigenous history and pioneer technologies to Victorian gardening, food traditions, conservation efforts, and beyond. Presentations are informal, engaging, and typically run about 45–60 minutes.
