FieldFinders is based in Chilliwack on the traditional territory of the Stó:lō Nation, whose name means “People of the River.” For thousands of years, Stó:lō communities have lived in relationship with the Fraser River and the surrounding lands, carrying deep knowledge of the ecosystems that shape this region.

As FieldFinders explores parks, trails, and natural places across British Columbia, we recognize that these lands exist on the traditional and unceded territories of many Indigenous Nations.

For generations, Indigenous Peoples have cared for the forests, mountains, rivers, and coastlines that families continue to explore today. Their knowledge, cultures, and histories remain deeply connected to these landscapes.

Through FieldFinders, we encourage families to approach outdoor exploration with curiosity, respect, and gratitude — learning not only about nature, but also about the communities and traditions connected to the places we visit.

Exploration begins with respect: for the land, for the ecosystems that sustain it, and for the people who have cared for these places long before us.
