Wild About Outdoor Learning Society Celebrates
Hopefully the holiday season has been good to you and yours. Happy New Year! The weather has been tumultuous throughout British Columbia. Some great possibilities for outdoor activity but not so conducive to anything involving an airport! Living in British Columbia, we are home to incredible biodiversity and terrain conducive to outdoor physical activity during all seasonsContinue reading “Wild About Outdoor Learning Society Celebrates”
Inspiration of Robert Davidson
“The art became the vehicle for cultural knowledge to become part of us.” Robert Davidson (2007-2020 – personal conversations) I am not a grand fan of notifications that flip across my computer screen and distract me from the task at hand. But sometimes, just sometimes, these notices are perfectly timed flashes of brilliance. A notice flashedContinue reading “Inspiration of Robert Davidson”
Photos, Friends and Nature as a Way of Life
The Wild About Outdoor Learning Society will be highlighting a number of ways that you can #getOUTdoors and #getINvolved in your community.

Thanksgiving and Reciprocity
Some books are better listened to than read. Particularly when they are read by the author, and it seems like that author is talking directly to you. Braiding Sweetgrass is one of those books. Not a book to listen to in one sitting but a book to savour over time. It is like sitting down to visit with either myContinue reading “Thanksgiving and Reciprocity”
Family Tradition at the PNE

As was crossing your fingersContinue reading “Family Tradition at the PNE”

Giant Sequoia Discovery in Vancouver
A new discovery this weekend! We have giant sequoia trees in Vancouver. Who knew! I’d love to say I happened upon it myself, but I have to admit I had some help. In a midst of a cleaning frenzy, I came across the book, 111 Places In Vancouver That You Must Not Miss by Dave Doroghy and Graeme Menzies. My husband andContinue reading “Giant Sequoia Discovery in Vancouver”
Noticing Trees
Autumn arrives differently, depending on where you happen to live in the world. In my life as a Vancouverite in British Columbia, the experience of the season is heralded by trees. You would have to be hard pressed not to notice the reds, yellows, oranges, burgundy and browns of the trees in fall. We learned in schoolContinue reading “Noticing Trees”
The Thrill of New Discoveries
If you live or visit Vancouver, sighting a Pacific Blue Heron is as likely as seeing a seagull or a Canada Goose. Usually, it is one large statuesque and graceful bird alone on the golf course or at the beach during low tide. New discovery today. The Great Blue Heron Rookery is part of myContinue reading “The Thrill of New Discoveries”
