Kate Mizenka

Kate Mizenka is the founder of Elk Root Conservation Farm Society. She is an avid bee conservationist, expert beekeeper and knowledge sharer. Kate is the innovator behind Elk Root Conservation’s Sustainable Apiary Model and designer of Elk Root Conservation’s Educational Demonstration Gardens. Elk Root Conservation is located adjacent to the ancestral Sinixt village site of n’kʔáwxtən, in Sinixt təmxʷúlaʔxʷ and within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) at the confluence of the Slocan River and Little Slocan River in Vallican, the Slocan Valley, British Columbia. Our vision is a thriving fish, wildlife and human population in the Slocan Valley and Little Slocan River watershed that is functioning and sustainable.

Our not-for-profit mission is to protect, restore and enhance fish and wildlife habitat by example through boots-on-the-ground habitat conservation projects and by offering inclusionary and inspiring learning opportunities through research, innovation, and hands-on education at Elk Root Conservation’s Educational Demonstration Gardens. Our educational workshops focus on ecological stewardship, wildlife conservation & habitat restoration, honey bee wellness & wild pollinator gardens, sustainability, regenerative ‘beyond’ organic gardening, biodiverse farming practices and local food security.

In addition to the cultural significance of our location to the Sinixt peoples, the reach of the confluence is a unique and ecologically important wildlife corridor. It is the perfect place to demonstrate how protecting the planet and our local food security go hand-in-hand. Not only for ourselves, but for our children and future generations to come.
