Happy #InternationalDayForBiodiversity. #Bananaslug

Nice to see winter chanterelles popping out all over the place. Tiny but delicious #fungi

Violet Webcaps (Cortinarius violaceus) seem to be super abundant in the Coquitlam watershed this year. So striking. #mushrooms #fungi

So many lobster mushrooms on Vancouver Island this year. #fungi #mushrooms

So nice to find Birch Scaberstalks (Leccinum scabrum) on urban walks in Victoria. #fungi #mushrooms

Nice to find pear puffballs. A fun treat foraging for #mushrooms

#Riversday is soon, but no need to wait to celebrate BC's fabulous rivers.

Though Fraser sockeye in general remain in trouble, 12 sockeye have now returned to the Coquitlam River in 2024. While that may not sound like a lot, it equals the total from the previous 8 years combined. #wildfishmatter @Kwikwetlem

@CraigOrr_ Cool! Is this your cam? In Port Alberni?

Healthy looking cats. #cougar

The feds promised to get #fishfarmsout. Can you send the Prime Minister an email reminding him to KEEP HIS PROMISE and get every factory fish farm out of B.C.? nmshr.io/s/twitter/ZxY7…
