The Outdoor Learning Store

Our Friends at CBEEN are offering Groundswell Members access to discounts on gardening, nature & sustainability resources & tools! 

Invermere is home to The Outdoor Learning Store – a social enterprise of the Columbia Basin Environmental Education Network (CBEEN), and a go-to hub for outdoor, environmental and Indigenous learning equipment & resources.

They now offer a variety of resources and equipment for gardening & sustainability that are likely to be of interest to many Groundswell members. As a result, we’ve secured a discount code that you can use, and 100% of the proceeds from the outdoor learning store go back to supporting non-profit environmental initiatives! 

All orders are placed online, and can either be shipped or picked up locally in Invermere at Palliser Printing. Enter GS123%$ at check-out, and receive a 5% discount. And 100% of proceeds go back to supporting outdoor and environmental learning non-profit initiatives!
