Kelowna is a town with four seasons of stoke, and we're gladly opening our doors to it in the fall of 2026. Biking, skiing, fishing and climbing are a few fan favorites in this location, with many trails easily accessed from our doorstep. We’re feeling right at home with all the keeners who surround us and we’re using that energy to help us get to work in Kelowna, too. Habitat restoration and fire and climate resilience matter to us, and we believe in this community’s care and organizing, especially in collaboration with the Syilx Okanagan people whose traditional territory we operate on.
Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship works directly with local residents in order to support and assist them in caring for important natural areas by:
​
• Providing information, assistance and advice about local species and spaces including tailored habitat assessments prepared by our local biologists
• Providing best management practices and management plans for coexisting with wildlife on your property.
• Helping landowners become stewards of natural areas on their properties while maintaining their farms, ranches, vineyards or other land uses.
• Helping develop projects, such as native plant enhancement, shoreline fencing, and invasive plant management to enhance wildlife habitat in our communities.
• Working cooperatively and collaboratively in the delivery of our projects and activities.
• Engaging local communities and land managers in conservation, restoration and enhancement of key habitats for wildlife in their communities.
