I love conifers year round, but I especially love them in the winter. Standing amongst the older hemlocks in this park always quiets my mind & encourages me to listen for the whispers of a snowy forest.

Took a much needed walk to soothe my spirit a bit today. Not another human soul in sight; I paused often just to listen to the beech leaves shivering, chickadees singing, and some wild turkeys gobbling in the distance.

Spent sunset down by the water. My face hurt, but it was good for my soul.

Utility corridors (commonly known as hydro corridors here in Ontario) are really neat opportunities for restoration of larger, linear tracts of habitat in urban areas. Missing this field of #goldenrod from one such restoration #solidago #nativeplants #restoration #ecology

Hi folks, figured I'd do a quick intro here: my name's Vicky and I currently work on restoring/creating meadow habitat in rights-of-way in Ontario. Hopefully starting a PhD within the year in this field- stay tuned! Enjoy cat, grassland, & pollinator pics in the meantime.

Had a good time seeding some (read:2ha by hand broadcast) meadow habitat on a farm in the Peterborough area this past week- looking forward to seeing what pops up in the next few years 🌿 #ecologicalrestoration #meadow #grassland #pollinators

The native seed sowing set up tonight. First year using soil blocks; looking forward to seeing how they help with root development (and less pot chaos) #nativeplants #gardening #nativeseeds #ontario

So I got a long time want of mine today at the CNE: a pair of insect-adorned leggings. Can't identify them all; if any #entomologist or #bugenthusiast wants to help out, I'm all (virtual) ears!
