Why it matters

Ripe & fallen fruit is a huge bear attractant in Revelstoke.
Through gleaning and picking our local fruit trees, we can help keep our bears wild and our community safe. Learn more about bear awareness and managing bear attractants at

Food security is an important focus.
With the cost of living on the rise and access to affordable food decreasing, food security is a very real issue. Sharing fresh, local produce is a great way to keep our community healthy whilst creating social connections. Learn more at
