Have a great weekend! For those of you on Vancouver Island, meet me tomorrow at the Campbell River Museum between 10 am and and 4 pm. I'm a vendor at the Campbell River Christmas Gift Tour. I'll have nature and wildlife prints (some are already framed) and copies of my book Wild Vancouver Island.

It's from my friend, Jeff, whom I originally met off of Mastodon, back in 2022. We met in person in 2023 & exchanged plants🪴We've stayed friends over the years. We are working towards similar community building goals, in separate areas of the island. Ideally, would love to have a full food security, localized food systems 'spine', running West-East/South-North, across #VancouverIsland.
Jeff lives up island with his wife & kids. He also works in #nonprofit #FoodSecurity & #environmental #stewardship. He works for #Greenways #LandTrust in #CampbellRiver :

This shows some of the work they've done at Maple Park Community Garden in partnership with #Strathcona Regional District. They acquired that land to steward/grow, earlier this year 💚👩‍🌾👨‍🌾👏

I bet if we print out the face photos of the #Nazis who attended/were a part of that #racist conference & posted them at many different firearms ranges across BC - more of these #fascists can be identified.

Can you believe that we are only a few weeks away from the holiday season? This year again I will be a vendor at several Christmas / holiday markets in Courtenay and Campbell River.

Starting this Saturday, November 15, from 10 am to 4 pm, I'll be at the Campbell River Museum for their annual gift tour. Come and get a signed copy of my book Wild Vancouver Island or a print!
