We are grateful to partner with Rose Thunder Farm in this opportunity to restore indigenous ecosystems and strengthen our region’s climate resilience.

Rose Thunder Farm believes restoration should be rooted in ecological care, Indigenous cultural access, and right relationship with the plant. While the farm does not sell rivercane, their participation in this event is dedicated to supporting restoration, propagation, and broader access to this increasingly scarce species in our region.
