SUMMARY:VICTORIA - Ivy Pull at Haro Woods
DESCRIPTION:Let’s tackle that Ivy\, Haro Woods Saanich \nOn this Explorer Day\, we will put environmental stewardship into practice with our Nature Mentor Lindsay Coulter. \nLindsay is a volunteer Lead Steward for Saanich Parks in Haro Woods. She is also the former David Suzuki’s Queen of GreenTM\, a naturalist\, educator\, facilitator\, writer\, and parent. Her work has been to coach\, mentor and educate parents\, teachers\, and childcare staff to foster a deep connection with the living world. She believes nature is the classroom\, a teacher\, and a healer. \nEnglish Ivy will be our focus on this day.  We will be clearing ivy to stop it from spreading throughout the park and instead make way for native plants to thrive and become established.  Ivy is invasive and is choking out native plants. Throughout the year it grows a lot\, forming carpets that even climb trees! When it takes over a tree it makes that tree more vulnerable to environmental stressors like high winds or drought. It can kill a tree all together.  Later in the Fall\, we can replant areas that are cleared of ivy to replenish the foliage and improve habitat for wildlife! \nPlease RSVP here. \nFOR MORE INFO on other volunteer stewardship opportunities and to learn more about Haro Woods. \nWHEN: Saturday\, October 16th\, 1:00pm to ~ 2:30pm \nWHERE: Eagle Rock (inside the woods off Finnerty Rd.). Look for a Haro Woods green sign marker at trailhead off newly paved walkway/bike trail which runs along Finnerty. \nMAP LINK:  https://www.alltrails.com/trail/canada/british-columbia/haro-woods-park \nDIRECTIONS BY TRANSIT:  #11 bus until UVic daycare on Finnerty @Edgelow or metered spaces are available at UVic daycare (3889 Finnerty Rd). Also parking north on Edgelow in front of Arbutus Middle School. \nCOME PREPARED: Participants should dress for the weather. We will run rain or shine but not in high winds (above 60 km/hour) or a snow day. Bring garden or work gloves\, but there are some extras to loan (not kid-sized). Bring a snack and water. There are no washrooms. \nSAFETY PROTOCOLS: There will be a sign in sheet/waiver upon arrival. We will mostly stay in our family “pods” and social distance where possible. Masks are optional for adults\, but are highly recommended where distance cannot be maintained. We will be outdoors the entire time!

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL EXPLORER DAY - A Conversation Youth Environmental Changemakers
DESCRIPTION:A Conversation Youth Environmental Changemakers\n\nWe are pleased to be showcasing three of The Starfish Canada award recipients Kate O’Connor\, Sofia Slater and Tessica Tuong. Join us for an inspiring panel discussion session with these youth leaders as they share their stories and journeys.

When the B.C. 2020 provincial election was called\, Kate ran as the Green Party candidate in Saanich South\, and became the youngest candidate in provincial history. Over the course of her campaign\, she advocated for a transition to a just and green economy through ending oil and gas subsidies and reinvesting in tech and renewable energy sectors. She is also a leader and advocate for intergenerational leadership and youth participation in politics. Kate now works as the constituent advocate for Saanich North and the Islands and is learning about the day -to-day impacts provincial legislation has on citizens. Kate firmly believes that engaging young people in the political process and electing leaders who understand the urgency of the climate crisis are crucial parts of the fight to save the natural environment.\nSofia Slater\nSofia is a student from Metro Vancouver\, British Columbia. She is currently studying Environment and Business at the University of Waterloo. She is passionate about environmental sustainability and showing people that everyone has the ability to make a positive impact on the planet. She has spoken at events ranging from 10 to over 5\,000 people on how consumer choices do have the power to create lasting environmental change. She loves introducing people to the power of the outdoors when it comes to inspiring people to want to protect the planet. \nTessica Tuong\nTesicca is working hard to build a brighter future for the community. From affordable housing\, to fighting the climate crisis\, to building partnerships across the community that make a real difference — Tesicca is fighting for you. She founded CityHive\, a non-profit organization that directly engages young people when it comes to important decisions that affect their lives.

SUMMARY:VANCOUVER - Halloween Hike at Whyte Lake

We are thrilled to have Stephen Hui\, author of “Destination Hikes In and Around Southwestern British Columbia” to guide us on this fall hike.

Our destination will be the small\, peaceful Whyte Lake in the hills of West Vancouver. On the trail we’ll pass old growth forest groves of Western Cedar and Douglas Fir\, and see several old growth giants. We’ll also look for signs of fall in the area as we hike. \nPlease note: The path has some uphill areas\, and the elevation and length of the hike may be difficult for some of our younger members. That being said\, the whole family is welcome including teens.\nMore information on this hike from #Vancouvertrails can be found here. \nWeather: We will go rain or shine\, but will cancel in the case of torrential rain. \nWhat to Wear/Bring: Hikers should have hiking boots or shoes\, or sturdy footwear. Bring warm layers\, snacks and plenty of water\, and possibly rain gear. \nMeeting Place: The parking lot at the Whyte Lake Trailhead\, off Westport Road in West Vancouver. See maps below. \n Register here. \nYou can listen to a recent interview with Stephen Hui about fall hiking on CBC’s Early Edition. More information about Stephen’s latest book can be found here.
