Nature of Forest Weekend - Saturday Events

Fire Management through an Ecological Lens, Saturday July 18 - 364 Mill Road9:30 - 11:30 am

Ecological FireSmart is fundamentally a way of thinking about the landscape. While wildfire is a natural part of forest ecology, fire is obviously less desirable around human values. FireSmart ideas can help us reduce wildfire risk to our properties. It can involve simple actions like yard and home maintenance, and choices around landscaping and renovations. Simple actions can make a difference in reducing wildfire risk at your home.
*Directions to 364 Mill Road

• Go north on North Cove Road, past Hunter's Pond and turn left onto Mill Road.
• Travel west on Mill Road and at the junction with Fraser Point Road, turn left and continue along Mill Road.
• Travel about 1 km further and Nick Brink's place (364) is on the right.
• Please be mindful of speed limits on the road.

Andy MacKinnon. Saturday July 18- Forbes Hall.

1:30 - 2:30pm

Fabulous Plants and their Fungal Friends

The plant and fungi kingdoms form extraordinary partnerships that allow both partners to survive and thrive. This talk will feature BC’s lichens, mycorrhizae, fungal endophytes, and magnificent mycoheterotrophs.

Here's what's on today at the Nature House:

10-12 Wild Creatives: Hapa Zome Plant Prints
Location: The Nature House at The Portal - please park at Heneage House (large wine-coloured building) or at the Fairyslipper parking area

Hapa Zome is a Japanese printing technique that transfers the natural pigments of fresh flowers and leaves directly onto paper or fabric - no paint or ink, just the plant itself, and a satisfying amount of hammering. Join us at the Nature House for this beautiful and surprisingly percussive art form.
