We respectfully call upon @USGBC to update #LEED requirements for effective prevention and mitigation of building/window collisions.
A building neither green nor sustainable when actively harming wildlife.
We look forward to working together on a solution.

For the last 20+ years, this 200y/o Georgian house has had ALL its grass cut regularly. Since moving in at the end of March, I’ve now chosen my paths & have started the long journey of turning this 1 acre plot into a haven for #wildlife. Here’s to a #NoMowSummer 💚
Greetings, #yyc! If you love nature, then you already love #YYCNatureChallenge! When it's your 1st time or 7th time, please jump right in. April 25-28, 2025 = best 4 days of nature exploring!

Common misconception.
A bell doesn’t reduce the number of prey that cats catch.
If you care about your cat, the constant jingling of the bells can cause them stress.
If you have predators in your area, the bells can possibly alert predators to them.
KEEP. YOUR. CATS. INDOORS.

Did you know if you have a pet euthanized, in some states, you can’t take them home to bury them bc it’s 1. A risk for animals to scavenge them & 2. It’s a risk to ground water & plant life as euthanasia solution never degrades & just leeches into the ground eventually

There are tons of landowners, developers, communities, municipalities, wildlife and watershed who are all stakeholders in the Nose Creek Valley. Calgary's upcoming Nose Creek Park Strategy will bring all these stakeholders together to #SpeakForNoseCreek. #SaveNoseCreek #yyc
Happy holidays everyone! Had a lovely visit at @owlsnestbooks today. Bad news is they are sold out of Julya’s calendar. The GREAT news is it can be ordered in for the new year! Yay!
Support a fabulous local artist and a fabulous local bookstore with one purchase!

Please don't graffiti the rock. This Glacial Erratic has had an amazing history. Being carried here on a glacier from the Jasper area, a rubbing stone for historic bison, and a waypoint for prehistoric man. Let's treat it as the natural monument it is. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCerratic

So true
In many Indigenous cultures, wolves are sacred. But colonization brought myths that cast wolves unfairly as villains. In truth, wolf attacks are incredibly rare, with no human deaths in the U.S. for over 100 years. It’s time to change the story. Act now @ TeamWolf.Org!

#Brazil
The wildlife massacre on the roads of Brazil’s Mato Grosso do Sul state is staggering.
We've seen collared & giant anteaters, armadillos, crab-eating foxes, black-striped capuchin monkeys, tapirs & ocelots.
We take their land, but make no provision to protect them.
Keep an eye out, Calgary! @cmcalgary @GiantBlueRing

Remarkably, it weighs about as much as a penny! Only the Bee hummingbird of Cuba is smaller. This Mexican beauty is called the Bumblebee hummingbird, of course!
Where did I find it? Here is the story.: (7min listing time):

Let us again marvel at this sub-950hPa meteorological phenomenon that is a mid-latitude cyclone that has undergone #bombogenesis over the NE #Pacific Ocean off the #BC/#WA/#OR/#CA coasts! EPIC! 🌀

This is a MAJOR STORM even for Vancouver. Do not be surprised if we get upgraded to a wind warning. You'll see a power flash in this video. LOOK OUT folks. This Storm will be memorable. 750pm #BCStorm

One of Murray Sinclair's teachings that I've tried to centre in my work, is to put truth before reconciliation and do the hard work to show that residential school denialists are wrong. So, since denialists are trying to misrepresent his legacy, here's how they get it wrong👇🧵
