Not only a resource food, the ocean remains to be the highway and way of life for many Nuu-chah-nulth. 🙌🏼

Thanks to @BirdNoteRadio I recently learned about the Northwest indigenous peoples’ name for Swainson’s thrush: Salmonberry Bird. So fitting!

The BC government has already committed to #biodiversity legislation under the #OldGrowth strategic review, so if we apply pressure we’ll make sure this time they actually do it.

Sign the letter, and join the movement for further action! https://t.co/UeC5IbtrZO

Today’s flower is Heart-Leaved Arnica (Arnica cordifolia). Check out BC Trails Day events, Saturday June 4th, to get out and see some of these delightful blooms. This medicinal plant can be used to treat inflammation & is important summer forage for mule deer. Status: Native.

@MSLamerClass Hi! You could draw pictures of endangered species & send them to officials like Josie Osborne + George Heyman, asking them to make a law that protects those species. Animals like western toads, barn owls, and American badgers. your teacher can find more on https://t.co/s6USYJS0r4
