Who Hunts in BC? Meet the People Behind the Practice
Across British Columbia, people care deeply about food, nature, and the places they call home. For many, hunting is one way to live those values. It reflects food, family, and connection to the land, rooted in a deep sense of respect. Through the Who Cares BC campaign, we meet the people behind the practice. Their stories remind us that hunting is not just an activity. It is a relationship with the land that sustains us.
Data for the Wild: How Citizen Science Is Shaping Wildlife Recovery in BC
In British Columbia, conservation depends on more than policy and protection. It depends on knowing what is happening out there. On the ground. In real time. And that knowledge does not always come from scientists in labs or government reports. More and more, it comes from people like you. Citizen science is the practice of […]
What We Build Matters: How Development Shapes Wildlife Habitat
What We Build Matters Every day, the shape of British Columbia is changing. Roads are widened. Subdivisions expand. In many areas, single-family homes and large yards are being rezoned to hold 4 to 12 units or more.

Field Notes for the Future: Getting Kids Outside and Curious

Seeing the Signs: How to Read the Land Like a Wildlife Steward
Seeing the Signs: How to Read the Land Like a Wildlife Steward In British Columbia, we’re lucky to live among some of the richest biodiversity in Canada.

Fire, Flood, and Fragile Forests: Why Ecosystem Health Is a Public Safety Issue
Introduction: In British Columbia, conversations about conservation often focus on wildlife. And while that’s important, there’s another side to the story that’s becoming harder to ignore: the health of our ecosystems directly affects the safety and wellbeing of people, too. Unhealthy forests burn faster. Logged hillsides are more prone to landslides. Disrupted wetlands can’t hold […]
Not Just Trash: What Illegal Dumping Says About Our Relationship with Nature
Introduction You’ve probably seen it: a rolled-up mattress on a gravel pullout, a broken TV ditched near a trailhead, or a pile of old furniture dumped along the backroads. It’s not just a mess.
