Following the success of last year’s workshop launch, the Community of Practice (CoP) organizing team recognized the ongoing need to build capacity and increase connections amongst restoration practitioners in Northern BC. To that end, we secured funding and developed a hiring process to support this important work. The organizing team congratulates Mae Whyte on becoming Northern BC’s Community of Practice Coordinator in June 2025.
During the workshop, participants identified the need for a centralized knowledge hub to support restoration practitioners by providing resources and fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing.
The knowledge hub aims to address knowledge gaps, support practitioners and encourage engagement within the restoration community.
Who is a Restoration Practitioner?
Anyone interested in the delivery of a restoration project, including professionals, academics, authorities, First Nations, stakeholders, funders, partners, governmental and non-governmental groups, and individuals interested in restoration.
We look forward to an exciting year ahead as we continue to grow and support developing this restoration community.
