Welcome to the Vancouver Fibreshed
Welcome! The Vancouver Fibreshed is a working group of EartHand Gleaners. We draw on shared passions, resources, and goals to develop and nurture a regional fibre system based in locally grown and processed materials. With EarthHand, we share a commitment to strengthening out regional fibre system and building resilient community knowledge around land-based practices.
The VFS volunteer team is working hard to revive the Vancouver Fibreshed and we would love your support. Please consider donating to our fundraiser or joining our email list!

Over time, this work will grow into a fully integrated part of EartHand, supporting a more connected and resilient local fibre ecosystem.
