These adorable and tiny mammals are about the size of guinea pig and live high in BC’s alpine zones. While you may not easily spot one, you might hear their iconic “eeeep” call!

Thanks to an extraordinary community effort, the final 37 hectares of Puntledge Forest are now protected forever. This 100-hectare biodiversity treasure was previously at risk of logging, and now the forest can continue to mature into old growth. 🌲

Say hello to one of BC’s most elusive hunters – the Northern saw-whet owl!
At just 20cm tall, Northern saw-whet owls are one of the smallest owl species, live in thick forests, and are completely nocturnal, making them rarely seen.

We're looking for volunteers to help us to map Scotch Broom, an invasive species, at Goldstream Park. This mapping will guide us and BC Parks in planning its removal in a second phase in spring, as well as track the management over time.

Happy Social Prescribing Day! 🌿
Social prescribing connects people to non-clinical support—like parks and outdoor activities—to boost mental and physical health. That’s where PaRx, Canada’s national nature prescription program, comes in!

This 517-acre landscape east of Kamloops is home to rare grasslands, centuries-old trees, and vital habitat for species at risk. These grasslands support over 30% of BC's threatened species, yet they cover less than 1% of the province.
