Two different footpath trails - leading out from the native plant garden. The rock steps trail leads to the short boardwalk that connects to a dock, over the lake, that has seating. The gravel path leads you to the lake loop trail, across the wetlands/marshes (prime frogs/turtles spotting area), over a long boardwalk that connects one side of the lake to the other. *In really rainy times - the trails on other side of lake get flooded out.

#SilentSunday 2018.
Alone at the lake, on a cold, rainy day. It was a good day in the #rain. #GoodMemories 💗
The old wooden #boardwalk has since been replaced with metal.

1/2 In our #museum, visitors are often surprised when I show them our housemates, err, #garden mates. 😁
These #firebugs are also visitors, enjoying some warm stones. Normally, they live on the lime trees at the church beside the museum.
Firebugs feed on fallen lime seeds (and seeds of some other plants) and dead insects. They are no pest.
They communicate and gather with the help of #pheromones. Loving heat, they can

I'm happy like a small child to have found these #treasures at our international #embroidery festival! So great for my #BiodiversityShrines!

Even more important are the talks: With an author of embroidery books who sold these "scraps", and the employee of the #naturepark was just as enthusiastic as I was and asked me if I would like to join her in organising children's courses with #handicrafts on #biodiversity. Oh yesss! 🥰

One of a few truckloads of #driftwood dropped off at Gorge Park for the ongoing nature rewilding restoration project. This is near the estuary area of the large urban nature park; by the Gorge nature house.

The District of #CentralSaanich says #ButterfieldPark will soon grow to nearly double its current size once it finishes purchasing an 18-acre parcel of land.

On Friday, the municipality said it had negotiated an agreement to purchase 18 acres of land at 1124 Mount Newton Cross Rd., which borders Butterfield #Park, at a cost of $3.2 million.

Even in the darkest #winter, there are #colours in our #naturepark #VosgesDuNord. You find them on #wood, mostly #DeadWood. #WinterSolstice #fungi #lichensubscribe

#GreenElfcup Chlorociboria aeruginascens (blueish-green), #DryRot (brown) and #YellowScale (yellow).

The beautiful yellow #lichen Xanthoria parietina is resistant to #pollution and used as a #biomonitor for heavy metals and #nitrogen pollution. You find it often near agriculture because it looks for high nitrogen levels in the air.
