Julia is our midterm executive director & she's been doing a fantastic job.

Meet Julia:

Julia McDougall

Julia (she/her) is passionate about environmentalism and community engagement. Raised in Kamloops, British Columbia on Tk'emlups te Secwepemc territory, Julia spent her childhood hiking with dogs, canoeing through local lakes and rivers, and photographing the wildlife around her. With a camera and backpack in hand, Julia has travelled to six of the world's seven continents to learn as much as she can about different cultures and their connections to nature. Julia completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Guelph in Animal Biology and later pursued a Master's degree in Conservation Research at Oxford Brookes University. She has conducted research on mountain gorillas in Uganda and black bears in Canada, which has shown her the importance of community dedication to local conservation issues. The links between positive environmental health and public engagement are clear, and have paved the way to her connection with Lifecycles Project Society. On her days off, you can often find Julia surfing in Tofino, hiking with her pup, or kayaking around the coast of Vancouver Island.

Ella is a super rad person ❤️

Meet, Ella Swan.

Ella (they/them) is enthusiastic about increasing food security and reducing food waste. Raised to value local food systems, they have been working and volunteering for organizations related to sustainable agriculture and ecosystem health since their early teens. Their educational background is in Gender Studies, Environmental Studies and Restoration of Natural Systems. For Ella, the links between healthy food, healthy people and healthy ecosystems are clear. With practical experience in environmental restoration, farming and volunteer management, they are looking forward to supporting the administrative side of the Fruit Tree Project as well as joining in on fruit picks when opportunities arise. Ella is also passionate about art, and has a textile art practice. This is a way to (literally) weave together arts and environmentalism with their focus on reused materials, sheep to yarn explorations and natural dying. Ella is a settler of Scottish and English descent, and has been an uninvited guest on W̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓ʷəŋən territories for the past 9 years. They were born and raised on the territories of the Ktunaxa and Secwépemc peoples.

Come to meet me & Julia (seen here), during #YYJ #GoByBike week, at #UVic on October 2nd. We're manning a #LifeCyclesFruitTreeProject info booth, free juice sampling station & giving away discount codes for our new orchard blend juice products. We'll be at UVic that day, from 9:30am - 12:45pm. Look for our banner, our logo marked van & me in an emerald green ballgown.

We are a local #nonprofit food security organization. Run almost entirely on volunteers power. Please support our community work!

@justafrog They were all quite distinct in flavours.
Here's some of the other heritage apple varieties we offered for public sampling, today.

@justafrog We offered 19 of the 125 different #HeritageApple species grown in this legacy community orchard park, for public #tasting today. The large King heritage #apples were crowd fave.
