Fairy Slipper Forest

The Fairyslipper orchids are blooming! These delicate spring flowers are easily damaged by exuberant dogs, so please enjoy the walk but keep your dog on a leash to protect the plants, nesting birds and other wildlife that the Fairyslippper Forest Nature Reserve was created to protect.

Thank you for helping out.

Solid Waste Yard Operations

Hello fellow islanders,

We are currently only accepting household garbage. That is right, garbage from your kitchen and bathrooms only.

Space in our bins is limited, so do not add recyclables or trash items from outdoors.

We understand that recycle items maybe piling up in your storage. We kindly suggest all recycle be dropped at Bings Creek where possible, on your next ferry trip. This will alleviate your stock pile and keep our island clean!

We hope you are all staying safe and practicing social distancing. In this regard, please utilize the garbage drop off with a focus on getting in and out quickly, to eliminate person to person contact. We appreciate your respectful actions in this regard.

Easter Weekend Fire Weather Forecast

A large upper ridge continues to dominate the west coast weather pattern, bringing dry sunny weather Friday and Saturday, with temperatures in the mid-teens, low Relative Humidity (25-25%), and light wind for most parts of the Coastal Fire Centre. Haida Gwaii is experiencing considerable rainfall today.

OUTLOOK: (Saturday-Monday) As the upper ridge gradually transitions eastward, outflow conditions build, bringing the strongest gradient for Saturday morning. Inlets and coastal mountain valleys can expect northerly winds reaching 25-45 km/h for several hours Saturday morning. Afternoon winds decrease as temperatures warm and the pressure gradient balances. The same pattern repeats Sunday morning but likely wind speeds will be lower. Afternoon temperatures increase, climbing a degree or two each day, while humidity falls. Afternoon weekend winds will be much lighter in the mornings, but may gust easterly on the east side of Vancouver Island.

Jollity & Habitat Farm Goats

Thank you for your phone calls and emails regarding wandering goats, but....the goats in question are not part of our herd. All our goats are happily residing in their fenced paddocks, and in fact, much too pregnant to be clambering anywhere. We are anxiously awaiting the first kids of the season any moment!

Follow the farm coop at instagram/habitat.farm to see cute baby goat photos soon.
