#HikingGuides do more to get people thinking about the environment, than environmental publications, as hiking guides are read by the non-converted. We protect what we love. ❤️ 🏔️ 🍁❤️

Questions in the room at the #CanadianTrailSummit on aiding our Elders & people bedridden with getting their #NatureDosing.

Dr Melissa Lem shares ideas of care farms (see the Netherlands), gardens, nature inside, smells of nature inside, places where you can see nature (ie bird feeders) … etc

#TimeInNature

Learning about optimal health time in #nature for your #health, for a cortisol drop, the ultimate #NaturePrescription is a minimum of 2 hours in nature each week, with a minimum of 20-minutes each time.

Tied to this, the prescription for tree coverage in your neighborhood is at least 30% canopy coverage.

The cat is out of the bag (literally) that this part of #TheTrail is on BC’s old #KettleValleyRailway, but it is not the Kettle Valley Rail Trail … so here comes the next hint …

This part of the KVR was the most difficult section of the railway to build, and was the most expensive mile of track built anywhere in the world at the time. Care to harbour a guess as to what section of the #TransCanadaTrail this is?

My #Tortie & I are #EVroadtripping to the #CanadianTrailSummit, while discovering more of #Canada along the #TransCanadaTrail.

Can you guess our 1st stop? The date & rock in photo 2 are hints, as is that this trail was originally designed to protect Canada’s sovereignty from Southern neighbours.

So very pleased to see this #Alberta judge standing up for #Indigenous land rights.

Not just #OneGoodThingToday, but #OneGRANDthingToday for Canada.

For those, who like me, missed Prince Harry’s speech two weeks ago in Kiev, have a listen. While his Dad was nuanced in his speech to US Congress, Harry was direct. Both approaches are needed right now in this fight to save #democracy and #StopFascism. Well done, Harry.

I was initially critical of King Charles’ visit to the US as pandering to the regime at a time when we need to be standing up to fascism. Singular quotes / video snippets furthered that concern, until I watched the King’s full speech to US Congress, where it is evident that he’s cautioning the US to restore a proper #democracy. He would have done his mom proud.

This was a good reminder to listen to the full speech, rather than draw conclusions from snippets.
