In the @GBayBiosphere, at-risk turtles nest in shallow soil on #CanadianShield rock. BUT when #wildfire occurs, much of the soil burns off & erodes. Not only does this reduce the number of spots where #turtles can lay eggs, but also affects suitability of remaining nest habitat
Joanne Lam had the team's highest stop:turnover ratio while Emma Sherwood led the @MLQRaiders beaters in stops during the 2023 regular season. #MLQ2024
Feeling extra grateful for the forest ecology research group that all came out to the root picking extravaganza! Fun root themed snacks were provided :)
Our friends and colleagues in the Northwest Territories are in trouble. Fires have displaced many NWT communities; even Yellowknife is under evacuation alert. Please help: https://t.co/2VgVL8VmvL

@theheatherhogan For a YA novel with female protagonists, swords + arrows, queer characters, romance -> @kristincashore 's Graceling Realm novels, especially the first one for a happy ending
@naturecognition What's super disappointing/frustrating to me is that he only got 40.82% of the votes and voter turnout was 43.5%, yet he still gets a majority government.
From @McMasterU we have four teams (including some familiar faces from last year's winners/runners-up): "McMaster Disaster Squad", "Team McDisaster", "Team McMappilicious", and "99 Problems and a Map Ain't One"

In honour of #WorldPeatlandsDay, I would like to try my first #AMA#AskMeAnything, as long as your question is peat or peatland-related. We're talking about bogs, fens, mires, peatlands, quagmires, moors...all depend on a foundation of thick peat. Ask away!
