Indigenous to Northern BC, Fireweed helps rebuild ecosystems after a fire or clear cut. It also has a story of foretelling winter! Fireweed blooms bottom to top – once completely bloomed, the first snowfall of the year is said not to be far. Next to predicting winter, this versatile plant also has uses from teas and salad to fire starter.

Stewart is located in the Northwest BC region with beautiful scenery which can be enjoyed and appreciated from a variety of hiking trails in and around the town. A tranquil community with views of the ocean and surrounded by glaciated valleys, Stewart offers an unforgettable experience to travellers and outdoor adventure seekers.
