Check out phase 1 of the Esquimalt Road protected bike lane - concrete curbs, bollards, crossrides, treed medians, and connections to other bike routes. A great AAA upgrade on a main street. Nice work Esquimalt!🚲 #Esquimalt #yyjbike #bikesky

A proposed development for a private property on Admirals Road will result in the removal of 33 #GarryOak trees. The #Esquimalt #Climate Organizers have started a petition to prevent this from happening.
This petition asks the #EsquimaltCouncil to deny the current #development permit for the property and require it to be redesigned to allow for the #preservation of the Garry Oak and #DouglasFir #ecosystem. The removal of these #trees would have a large negative impact on #habitat and hydrology for the community, and will require 66 #replacement trees elsewhere as per Esquimalt’s #TreeProtection bylaw.
Please sign the #petition

Over the past year, the #LifeCycles team has been taking a deep dive into reimagining what the #SeedLibrary can be. With the help of many dedicated volunteers, we’ve spent significant time sorting and organizing seeds, and we’re excited to share what’s coming next.
By the end of February, #seed #donation bins will be launched at each of #GreaterVictoriaPublicLibrary branches. The Seed Library at the Broughton branch in downtown Victoria, which will both collect and distribute seeds, is expected to be fully functional by March.
We are also shifting how #seeds are accessed at the #library to make them more #accessible and increase their reach. The Seed Library will function more like a Seed Box - prioritizing ease of access, because we believe that access to seeds—especially amid rising food costs—is an important part of local #foodsecurity.
Alongside this, we are planning to continue the Seed Library’s core work of growing out heirloom and locally adapted varieties so they remain accessible in our region. As these seeds become available, we will put these seeds into rotation in the Broughton Branch Seed Library.

We’re also planning two #SeedWorkshops this year — a beginner workshop in the spring and a more advanced workshop in the summer. More details coming soon!
#Volunteer opportunities - come help us!
We have two remaining seed-sorting shifts and we would love your help:
Monday, January 19, 10:00 am–12:00 pm
Monday, January 26, 1:00–3:00 pm
Shifts take place at our Esquimalt office (808 Viewfield Rd, Unit A). Snacks are provided! You can sign up through the Gleaning Hub under Join → Shifts

#FlashbackFriday 2007.
I was having a picnic with a friend on the boulders at Denniston Park, by the #CFBNaden base in #Esquimalt - when the #CanadianForces #Snowbirds flew over several times. They were doing some #aeronautical maneuvers as part of a military training/connecting event with multiple ally nations.

More of these brown cap, unidentified mushrooms. These were growing in a large colony, from the ground. There were thousands of them.

Tiny, bright white mushrooms, growing out of a cedar tree. They look like they'd glow in the dark.

I sold lots of products from #LifeCyclesProjectSociety at the Esquimalt Holiday #Market, today! All of our products for sale were made from rescued fruits, gleaned/harvested from all across our local municipalities.
I met lots of friendly folks too.
Had fun chatting with these two fungi foraging friends 🙂#nonprofit #VictoriaBC #Esquimalt #CommunityMarket #FoodSecurity #ProductsForSale #VancouverIsland
