Fall Gathering
The KCP Fall Gathering & AGM serves as one of the primary venues to connect and re-connect KCP partners from across the region.
The KCP Annual Fall Gathering is a wonderful opportunity to learn about conservation projects in the Kootenays, share knowledge and information, and network with other organizations in the region.
The 2022 KCP Fall Gathering & AGM will take place on September 23 & 24, 2022 in Creston.
Registration to close September 12. If you register for the Field Tour, we will confirm your spot by September 16.
The organizing theme for the 2022 Fall Gathering is “Celebrating 20 Years of Conservation Partnership”.
It has been a few years since we have been together in person and we look forward to the opportunity to connect KCP partners from across the region!
The event will showcase achievements in private land securement, landscape connectivity, local conservation funds and much more. Guest speakers will provide insights on looking forward into the next 20 years and preparing for conservation. We will also take the opportunity to host the 2022 Annual General Meeting for KCP Partners.
