Plant specifications
We have always worked with native plants, and consider them essential components of ecosystem function. We consider native bees our primary clients, given their keystone role to ecosystem function, yet we also work on behalf of amphibians, birds, mammals and aquatic life forms.
Our services include:
– creating, reviewing lists
– meadow making (design, build, maintain, monitoring, project management)
– delivering educational talks and workshops on behalf of the Native Bee Society of BC
– facilitating collaborations with the NBSBC
Why Choose Ecotone
Ecotone understands the big picture (like policy levers and climate projections) while cultivating perspective with localized resolution (like species and relationships). We are constantly developing and refining our understanding of indigenous and novel ecosystems, the species that comprise them, and the ecological and cultural dynamics that could be directed to improve conditions for biodiversity. We are called to support and advocate for species, communities or ecosystems who need a helping hand.
