CSN Annual Gathering

Since 2008, CSN has held annual gatherings so Coastal Guardians and other stewardship staff can come together, and share stories and ideas about regional stewardship efforts across the North and Central Coast and Haida Gwaii.

The gatherings feature a unique mix of hands-on field training, such as environmental monitoring techniques and communications training for compliance and enforcement, along with high-level discussions about shared priorities and belief systems that guide stewardship work. The gatherings involve participation from community Elders, who share knowledge and wisdom with all participants.
