Our Mission

To reduce the negative impacts of invasive species in the Fraser Valley. 

The Fraser Valley Invasive Species Society (FVISS) is a non-profit society focusing on invasive species. We work towards our mission by providing public outreach and engagement, encouraging and supporting coordinated and collaborative invasive species management actions, and conducting onthe-ground removal and treatment activities.

Our Goals

1. Advocate for Coordination and Management of Invasive Species
2. Increase Awareness, Education, and Knowledge Sharing
3. Establish FVISS as the Regional Resource for Invasive Species
4. Maintain a Well-Functioning and Resilient Organization

Where We Work

Spanning the Fraser Valley to the Lower Fraser Canyon, the FVISS operates within the boundaries of the Fraser Valley Regional District, situated between Metro Vancouver to the west, Thompson-Nicola and Okanagan-Similkameen to the east, Squamish-Lillooet to the north, and the US border to the south.

FVISS is part of a network of Regional Invasive Species Organizations (RISOs), working together to prevent the spread of invasive species throughout BC - Learn more about the Regional Committees!

The Fraser Valley Invasive Species Society is grateful to live, work, and play on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Stó:lō People. We manage invasive species in contribution to
the ongoing stewardship of S'ólh Téméxw, which the Stó:lō have been doing since time immemorial.
