Let us help. We have resources to help you talk about gun violence in your classroom and community. We wish we didn't need to.

To start sensitive discussions around gun violence, we recommend Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down, the story of gun violence survivor Gabby Giffords, and our free discussion guide.

The team that worked on our teaching resources for Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down included gun violence survivors — and it shows. These materials are powerful, accessible and not political at all. Our Gabby Giffords Won't Back Down Learning Guide also includes our Facilitation Guidelines for Group Discussions, to help students voice things they need to talk about.

#SwanLakeNatureSanctuary - the #NatureHouse. This is where I worked out of in my late 20s, as a nature interpreter/educator for public school field trips for a few months. I taught out of the nature house, an outdoor gazebo & on the central dock at the nature sanctuary.
There's been several upgrades to the nature house & to the nature sanctuary, since the early 2000s.

One of my newer, younger neighbours (my Mom & her Mom became friends) came by to talk to me yesterday. She asked if I'm open to doing a brief presentation/mini workshop for our neighbourhood community in early June. I've agreed to teach a free frugal gardening mini workshop & will give away some free supplies for newbies to get started well. I pitched starting a neighbourhood seeds sharing library too because many people avoid the downtown area so they don't visit Victoria Seed Library, which is in the Central Victoria public library. She's keen on having a smaller community seeds library & is working on writing a community grant for that & for us to do more neighbourhood community building work.

It's wonderful to be approached by a neighbour, who is wanting to actively collaborate on closer community building, right in our 'hood. Community grassroots collaborations sparks joy for me 😃💗

I'm getting some resources this week, to put together several free #GarryOakEcosystem #nature #zines to give away in my #LittleFreeLibrary all through this Spring & Summer.
It's part of my ongoing personal efforts to boost #NatureEducation / #NatureTeachings - right from the front of our home; so more people can learn about amazing local #biodiversity in our local #ecosystems 🙂
People who learn more about nature, will learn to love, respect & protect nature life systems 💚☘️
