Been off here for a bit, giving myself a little break. Hope field season has been good to everyone! Here are some of my highlights. #ecology #tek #invasivespecies

The king reading a land acknowledgement is all you need to know about land acknowledgements.

Thank you to En’owkin Center & Penticton Indian Band for hosting my Indigenous Ecology Lab @ sharing time & knowledges on Syilx lands with us today. Incredible wetland restoration project & so many good words shared! #ecology #traditionalecologicalknowledge #invasivespecies

Honoured to be a finalist for the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize as part of the 2025 BC and Yukon Book Prizes! Incredible to be amongst such amazing books and authors! #bcandyukonbookprizes #ecology

Lucky enough to be sitting with and learning from one of my heros, Dr. David Suzuki, at the First Nations Climate Gathering. Looking forward to presenting about climate impacts to food systems and food sovereignty at the event. #climatechange #ecology #foodsecurity #indigenousknowledge #tek

When mulching with leaves backfires 🤦🏻‍♀️. Whatever the secret sauce for breaking maple seed dormancy is, this winter found it. Now what?! #gardening #ecology #farming

Just cancelled my lab’s in-person participation at a conference in the United States. I’m so disappointed and sad that it has come to this. I agonized for days over this and got some very good advice to arrive at this decision. What a sad and unnecessary situation. #canada #academicchatter #ecology

So incredibly proud of PhD Cand from my lab, Vanessa Jones, on her first place win for grad student presentations at the Canadian Weed Science Society/Weed Science Society of America conference this week! @forestry.ubc.ca #weedscience #wssa2025 #cwss2025 #invasivespecies

Talking wildfire restoration today and making good trouble with my fire boss pal Joe Gilchrist! #indigenousstem #ecology #goodfire

What a thrill of a lifetime to get to speak with Robin Wall Kimmerer this evening. I hear some folx couldn’t get into the zoom, but the will be posting the recording on the West Vancouver Library website soon and I’ll be sure to post a link when it is! I can’t believe I just got to do that! #ecology

Excuse me m’am, you shouldn’t be working on a Saturday night. #dogs #puppies

Kinda fun to see this tonight! The best rankings ever for my book, “Medicine Wheel for the Planet”! Thanks for the support 🙌🏽 #ecology #indigenousscience #invasivespecies #climatechange #medicinewheelfortheplanet

Who needs a groundhog when you’ve got bears? Guess it’s time to be a little more vigilant again. Bring on spring! #bears #tracks

We are so excited to be doing research alongside Kwiakah First Nation and have use of the incredible facilities they are building in Phillips Arm! A dream to assist with land healing in the Great Bear Rainforest! #ecology #indigenousstem @ubcforestry www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/31/n...

B.C.'s smallest First Nation has big plans for a 'stewardship' economy

The tiny Kwiakah First Nation, with 19 members, has launched a “return home” by transforming a former open-net salmon farm into a floating, solar-powered scientific hub anchored in their traditional t...

A great afternoon with the Nuu-chah-nulth territories’ land guardians for their Indigenous stewardship workshop with Parks Canada (Pacific Rim National Park Reserve). An awesome group of like minded folx. Good medicine to share with them. #indigenousstem #landguardians #ecology #parkscanada

The hope of starting seeds has begun. I love this setup. It’s over the furnace vent too so no need for heat mats. Tomatoes, peppers, flowers for now. Squash, cukes and herbs in a few weeks. #gardening #foodsecurity

This week I received confirmation of my registration under Canada’s Indian Act. A mix of emotions comes with it. I only share because my identity was made the business of other, laterally violent people last year & to shine a light on the fact many of us are still finding our way home. Onwards.

Just over here, working on my questions for Robin Wall Kimmerer for our event on Feb. 14th. What would you want to ask her? #indigenousstem #ecology #gardening westvanlibrary.ca/event/an-eve...

Sorry PNW, it’s my fault. My 10 yards of compost arrived yesterday for the gardens. #snow

A pause from regular programming. I choked up this morning watching my girls with their coach on the ice. Our hearts are with #usfigureskating over the loss of kids and coaches whilst pursuing their dreams. I can’t help but think of their parents and families enduring such loss. 💔

I try to find something to admire about every invasive plant. The rooting ability of Himalayan blackberry is one such quality. Imagine if we all had the ability to reach out and ground ourselves wherever we go. I could do without the thorns. #whatintheweedwednesday #ecology #invasivespecies

It’s a stand with your head in cedar kind of day. #medicine #cedar #indigenousstem

Was cleaning up and collecting remaining calendula seeds amongst um… January flowers. It’s around 0-5C here these days. Not sure whether to admire their bravery or scold their poor choices. It’s cheerful, regardless. #plants #gardening #flowers #agroecology #ecology

How’s your morning reading going? I’m choosing to believe he is simply an intellectual. #puppies

I am so proud that my kids are proud of their culture & the leadership roles they take to build bridges of cultural understanding. A friend sent a pic of a poster my girls made for their school. This is one of our tattoo medicine people, Ecko Aleck, and the hands being done are mine 🧡 #indigenous

Everyone, meet the newest member of the Indigenous Ecology Lab, Niles. We hope he has the same skills for scent work as his parents! Niles will be sniffing out invasive species and rare plants when he grows up! #ecology #dogs #poodles #invasivespecies #ubcforestry #indigenousstem
