Volunteering with the Nature Conservancy of Canada

ByMike Pepperdine

As part of our commitment to raising awareness around invasive species with our Canadian Invasion Series of ciders, we are proud to support The Nature Conservancy of Canada in their conservation efforts on ‪Vancouver Island‬ and beyond! On Wednesday, the Sea Cider House team was lucky to join them on volunteer excursion to their ‪James Island‬ ‎conservation‬ area. We had an amazing time pulling ‪Scotch Broom‬ and learning about the unique ‪‎ecology‬ of the island that we can see from the deck of our ciderhouse.

Here’s a few quick photos:
