Kayla Buttress is a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Sustainable Agriculture from Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Richmond, British Columbia. She is passionate about preserving native biodiversity and supporting ecosystem services to promote sustainability. During her studies, she explored Indigenous approaches to agriculture and developed an interest in pollinators through a beekeeping course. Recently, she spent time on a farm in Costa Rica where she had the opportunity to assist with the harvest of Africanized and stingless bee honey. Kayla has hands-on experience working on organic farms and in community food systems, and is eager to contribute her skills, energy, and perspective to support the Native Bee Society in protecting BC’s native bees.
