RE: https://mstdn.ca/@ducky/116477984538960887 Useful info for people in BC who aren't anti-vaxxers: If you are not in one of the groups explicitly called out, you are still allowed to get a shot (as long as it has been at least three months since your previous shot). And they are, sensibly, still free for walk-ins. #BC #BritishColumbia #BCPoli #vaccines #vaccination

Roosevelt elk (Cervus elaphus roosevelti), also known as wapiti, one of the largest mammals on Vancouver Island. I photographed it in the fall. He was looking at its harem. Very protective. Those wapitis are wild, not habituated to people, so it takes time and patience to locate them and then photograph them while keeping a respectful distance. #photography #wildlife #nature #VancouverIslandWildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada #WildlifeWednesday

Into the green zone on #VancouverIsland and some of the most beautiful single track riding anywhere. Moss covered forest floors, giant swordferns, towering fir & cedar trees and stunning mountains. Grateful to call this place home and the outdoor adventures it provides. #mosstodon #naturephotography #motorcycle #britishcolumbia #getoutside

English – The Conversation | New research shows how forests can prevent floods of all sizes by Samadhee Kaluarachchi, PhD Student in Forest Hydrology, University of British Columbia Flooding on British Columbia's Highway 11 in November 2021. (B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Transit/flickr), CC BY-NC-NDAs large floods occur more frequently worldwide, many wonder what led to such devastating events. Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities, improper land management and forest removal increase flood frequencies and severity. Increasingly destructive floods also re-ignite debate on how we can make communities more resilient. Should we rely solely on traditional infrastructure like dikes and dams? In many regions, traditional infrastructure is aging and becoming increasingly insufficient, especially due to climate change. As a result, some governments are adopting solutions that incorporate or mimic nature. However, while many jurisdictions have expressed interest in nature-based solutions, most have yet to implement them on appreciable scales. Funding is limited and little is known about the effectiveness of nature-based approaches. Flood risk Flooding in the Peace Region in British Columbia on June 16, 2016. (B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Transit/flickr), CC BY-NC-ND Healthy forests are integral to flood management Read more: https://theconversation.com/new-research-shows-how-forests-can-prevent-floods-of-all-sizes-277967 #britishcolumbia #naturalsciencesandengineeringresearchcouncilofcanada

Vancouver Island marmots will soon come out of hibernation. Some colonies are located on ski hills so they close the ski resort for a few weeks in April. This marmot is endemic to Vancouver Island. It's an endangered species that is making a remarquable recovery thanks to marmots.org #photography #wildlife #marmots #VancouverIslandWildlife #BritishColumbia #conservation #EndangeredSpecies

Oliver Lake, near Prince Rupert, BC is an area where the poor growing conditions stunt the tree growth, leading to shapes resembling a natural bonsai. #photo #photography #PrinceRupert #BC #BritishColumbia #PacificNorthwest #OliverLake #blackandwhite #CaptureOnePro #notAI

Gulls hover over sea lions hoping to find herring scraps. The colour of the sea is due to a herring spawn. Photo taken last year. Des mouettes volètent au-dessus de lions de mer dans l'espoir de trouver des restants de hareng. La couleur de la mer provient du frai des harengs. Photo prise l'année dernière. #photography #photographie #HerringSpawn #wildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada #VancouverIslandWildlife

The amount of hate being pushed out right now by alt-right and right-wing pundits and officials is downright disgusting and reprehensible. Regardless of your social caste, gender, or other identity, you are welcome on the fediverse and at mstdn.ca. The absolute tragedy in Tumbler Ridge is incredibly heartbreaking, and we likely will never know the whole story. Right now, we need to hold space for the victims, the community, and make sure that those in our lives who identify as transgender know that they are loved, and always will be. #canada #TumblerRidge #britishcolumbia #cdnpoli #canpoli #TransRightsAreHumanRights

My next #SuperbOwlSunday photo is one of my favourite owl photos - two recently fledged young Barred Owls (Strix varia) on a branch. Cute, even if the sound they made wasn't! I have more photos of these two, and a video of them, in a blog post: https://www.mrussellphotography.com/blog/barred-owl-fledglings-owlets/ #Wildlife #SuperbOwl #BritishColumbia #Owls #Photography #Nature
