Safety First! Viewing a Solar Eclipse by eye is dangerous because of UV light from sun's corona. Thanks @McMasterU for distributing thousands of safe Eclipse Glasses! One month to go! #HamOnt #2014SolarEclipse

[RBG Science @rbg_science]

Are you ready for the Total Solar Eclipse on 8 April 2024? @RBGCanada will experience 87 seconds of totality at the Arboretum! Everyone is welcome but parking is already sold out at the Arb! #SolarEclipse #2014SolarEclipse #HamOnt

Algonquin Park's Lack of Snow – On average, #AlgonquinPark has 51 cm of #snow on the ground on March 6. This #winter, just 3 cm of snow was recorded! This is the lowest value since EnvCanada began snow depth measurements at the East Gate. Read all details https://t.co/LgsVa427eZ

On #InternationalWomensDay, The Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation recognizes the crucial role women play in advancing scientific understanding and strategic efforts in conservation, adaptation, and resilience across the tropics. #WomenInScience #IWD2024

Thanks Patrick White @Nut_Graf for the quote in #BaldEagles story today in @GlobeandMail! Delighted a pair is nesting in Toronto. Will be following the story with interest! The pair at @RBGCanada in Hamilton appear to be on their nest again this year!

[RBG Science @rbg_science]

Glad to discuss the anticipated arrival of baby #BaldEagles at @RBGCanada's Cootes Paradise Marsh this year. Mom and Dad Eagle have nested there since 2009. Thanks @TheSpec https://t.co/uv5vW3bu42

[RBG Science @rbg_science]

Grateful to Duncan McCue @duncanmccue on @TheCurrentCBC for the interview today on #BaldEagles. Their nesting at west end of Lake Ontario in Toronto and at @RBGCanada is a conservation good news story. Chi-miigwech!

🦝 As good of a napping spot as any. Many staff were delighted to spot a raccoon fast asleep in a tree today in Spicer Court at RBG Centre. 📷: Photo courtesy of Dr. David Galbraith (@Sasajewun, @rbg_science)

[RBG Science @rbg_science]

Honoured to participate in this exciting announcement today! Our @C2Eecopark partner agencies are participating in important work to protect nature.

[Steven Guilbeault @s_guilbeault]

Nature needs protection.

Thousands of species in Canada are at risk from losing their ecologically-sensitive habitats.

And nature is our greatest tool to fight and adapt to climate change – so important around our urban centers.

Another $3.5 million to the @NCC_CNC to protect other areas with rich biodiversity in Ontario like the Frontenac Arch Biosphere, one of Canada’s most important forest corridors.

And we’re supporting scientific studies to protect wildlife crossing dangerous roadways in the Arch.

[Steven Guilbeault @s_guilbeault]

La nature a besoin d’être protégée.

Des milliers d'espèces au Canada risquent de perdre leurs habitats écosensibles.

Et la nature est notre plus grand outil - si important autour de nos centres urbains - pour lutter et s'adapter aux changements climatiques.

It defies belief and understanding.

What are Russian supertrawlers doing fishing in UK waters whilst Russia is perpetrating an illegal and unprovoked war against Ukraine?
