Happy #FoodlandsFriday! Today we are highlighting the Sth’iwuq’ulhp / t̕ᶿiwəqəɬp (Elderberry shrub)*, one of the species planted at the Foodlands corridor on the sc̓e:ɬxʷəy̓əm (Salmon River). The Sth’iwuq’ulhp / t̕ᶿiwəqəɬp does well in wetland environments and helps increase bank stabilization and control soil erosion.

This week for #FoodlandsFriday, we are doing a #SpeciesSpotlight on the Slalem alhqéy / ʔéyχa:ɬ (Red Western Painted Turtle)*. The Slalem alhqéy / ʔéyχa:ɬ is the only native freshwater turtle in BC, and they need healthy, biodiverse wetlands for food and to reproduce. 🐢 They are threatened due to habitat degradation and pollution.
A goal of the Foodlands Corridor Restoration Program is to restore habitat for species-at-risk, like the Slalem alhqéy / ʔéyχa:ɬ. The Foodlands team has worked hard to restore wetland habitats along the sc̓e:ɬxʷəy̓əm (Salmon River) to help foster a stable, healthy, and biodiverse habitat for these turtles.

The first #FoodlandsFriday of 2023! Today we want to spotlight the Lá:yelhp / ley̓əɬp (Douglas Fir)*. These coniferous evergreen trees are one of the species that have been planted at the Foodlands corridor along the sc̓e:ɬxʷəy̓əm (Salmon River). Their seeds provide food for small mammals, such as mice and voles. They also provide habitat for threatened species, such as the northern spotted owl. 🦉
