“Here is a clear and simple breakdown of some of the latest bombshell findings out of the UBC Hydrology Lab… using a probabilistic framework, known as attribution science in the climate world. [The researchers] studied two watersheds in BC's Okanagan Valley near Summerland. In this area, they found that climate change was actually making the frequency of floods go down, but forest harvesting counteracted the effects of climate change and increased the flood risk by 10-fold (!!!) turning a 20-year flood into a flood that occurs every two years. [The H/T] truly want to know how the BC government and timber industry are responding to this new science internally. They're absolutely silent on it in public as they continue business as usual…”

Deol's mature peach trees were capable of producing softball-sized fruit — so large that in 2016 the previous owner of the orchard registered a peach as the heaviest ever recorded.

This year, in an effort to salvage the growing season, Deol is planting table grapes and rows of corn where those peach trees once stood.

#BritishColumbia has more #FruitFarms than any other province, with more than twice as many growers as Ontario and Quebec combined.

The total estimated value of fruit production in B.C. is more than $450 million annually, according to Statistics Canada. The vast majority of B.C.'s tree #fruits are grown in the #OkanaganValley with cherries, apples and peaches being the most commonly grown tree-fruit crops in the region.

Why Doesn’t Fewer Cowbirds Mean Less Nest Parasitism? https://wilsonsociety.org/2024/02/07/guest-post-why-doesnt-fewer-cowbirds-mean-less-nest-parasitism/

"When #cowbird abundance declines, such as is occurring in the #OkanaganValley and throughout much of North America, a sort of 'competitive release' could occur, where individual female #cowbirds may be free to maintain larger egg-laying territories and to parasitize more nests."

Foggy Friday #fog #BC #okanaganvalley

Here’s an #introduction.
My name is Bradley. ‘Dexter’ is an old #nickname given to me by co-workers at the Chateau Lake Louise back in the early 80s.
I’m a professional #winemaker living in #Canada ‘s #OkanaganValley.
I started with the #birdsite back in 2007 and really enjoyed the way the far flung camaraderie within my industry developed spontaneously. I hope that happens here.
I dabble in #stocks, #visualart, love to ride my #bicycles, and I am keen about #urbanplanning and #urbandesign
