Stewardship : Community Service. Sunday, May 16, 2010. Eastern Pacific Gray Whales. Out of death comes life, a concept as old as the first ruminations on life and death itself. This was graphically demonstrated in March when hundreds of people gathered daily to view a nine metre long dead male eastern Pacific gray whale that had washed ashore in an easily accessible area at East Sooke Park. Gray whales can live to seventy years and can ingest a massive amounts of polluted material in that time. Many ...

Lichens have served the environment and people well over the millennia. They are an important component of desert and semi-arid ecosystems, partnering with mosses, algae, fungi and other hardy and miniscule plants to form a mic...

Stewardship : Community Service. Friday, June 1, 2012. Giant Pacific Octopuses - No Mother Could Give More! No matter how many Talk and Walk presentations I attend, I am constantly amazed at the breadth and depth of knowledge that people freely and generously give. April was a case in point when Jim Cosgrove, former head of Natural History Collections at RBCM, agreed to come out to Metchosin to give a talk on octopuses. And it is octopuses, not octopi (which is a pie of eight servings.). Generally they m...
