Speaking Nature

This woman is an inspiration!!!

This is my goal! I have been a solo paddler when I lived in the north and worked in Quetico Provincial Park as the chief Park Naturalist!

I loved it, the quiet nature, paddle and observing nature, the way it felt , empowering feeling of paddling through isolated lakeS, streams and portages!

For me it was a great experience and proved to myself I could do it - however I love the company of people and look forward to more trips ahead surrounded by like minded outdoor enthusiasts and friends!!!!

Spring is here !!!
Remember as it warms up … little critters need the left litter for protection. If you can wait till it is warmer before raking … it gives them time to hatch 🙂

Happy Spring!

ICYMI: The Ontario government has removed all provincial protection measures for endangered and threatened migratory birds and aquatic species, ceding responsibility to the Government of Canada. It has done this by bringing into force its repeal of the Endangered Species Act. The new and much weaker Species Conservation Act, does not apply at all to at-risk fish and birds. These changes create a dangerous gap in protection.

The Ontario government has also ended provincial recognition for species classified as ‘special concern.’ The delisted species – numbering 106 in total – range from those Ontarians could encounter close to home, such as the Eastern Mole, Eastern Musk Turtle, Red-headed Woodpecker and Redside Dace, to those few will ever see, like the Cougar.

Spring!

Great time to get in some bird watching in! Before the leaves come out and with birds arguing over breading territory!

It’s a great time to get started!!!
