Spaces are limited—register now to secure your spot! \nJoshua Ralph\, the artist in residence in Yellowhouse\, will be facilitating the crafting.  \nJoshua is an uninvited settler-occupier on the stolen and shared lands of the Tsleil-Waututh\, Squamish\, and Musqueam Nations. He is a community-engaged media and eco-artist interested in changed and changing ecologies\, advocating for collaboration on the intersections between art-making and varied understandings of the “natural” world.  \nWith a focus on digital compositing\, his animated works have screened in dozens of venues internationally\, including Ottawa International Animation Festival\, Innsbruck Nature Film Festival\, and Vaasa Wildlife Festival. He currently works professionally in the animation field and can often be found in the bushes partaking in environmental restoration volunteering or logging a cool bug on iNaturalist. https://joshuaralphart.com \nThis event is being held on the unceded\, asserted & shared traditional territories of Penelakut\, Lamalcha\, Hwlitsum and other Hul’qumi’num and SENĆOŦEN speaking peoples\, Coast Salish Peoples of Galiano\, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation\, on what is now known as Galiano Island. \nYou can reserve your FREE ticket for this unique event HERE.

SUMMARY:Growing Old Growth - Free Evening Seminar
DESCRIPTION:About the event \n\n\n\nJoin Tal Engel of Wolftree Integrated Forest Rehabilitation as he shares methods he has developed to help dense young forests recover from a century of industrial forestry.  \nWednesday\, March 26th\, beginning at 7:00 PM at the Millard Learning Centre. (10825 Porlier Pass Rd)\nIt is often said that “time heals all wounds.” But what if\, for our second and third-growth Douglas-fir forests\, time alone may not be enough? \nWhat does it actually take to “grow” a healthy old-growth forest? In this talk\, Tal Engel of WolfTree Integrative Forest Rehabilitation will share methods he has developed to help dense young forests recover from over a century of industrial forestry\, and make the case for why the time for action is now. \nTal will deliver a 1 hour presentation\, followed by a half-hour Q&A. GCA Restoration Coordinator Adam Huggins will join for the Q&A to answer questions about the GCA’s forest restoration projects. Light refreshments will be provided. \nThis event is being held on the shared\, asserted\, unceded and traditional territories of the Hul’qumi’num-speaking First Nations Peoples and those who hold traditional rights\, responsibilities\, and Indigenous rights and title in and around what is now known as Galiano Island. \nAbout Tal \nTal is a forest restoration practitioner and regenerative farmer who lives in the Comox Valley\, British Columbia. On his family’s farm\, Honey Grove\, he researches and develops forest restoration methods and models that his organization\, WolfTree Integrative Forest Rehabilitation\, applies throughout Eastern Vancouver Island. Tal is currently working on his master’s thesis in restoration ecology.

SUMMARY:Make a Difference Week Volunteer Days
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\nFor the fourth year running\, the Galiano Conservancy is celebrating international Make a Difference Week as part of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. \nVolunteer days will take place on June 6 and 7 at the Millard Learning Centre.  Participants will get a chance to learn about and work with native plants from the nursery to the forest. \nDay 1: We will be moving native plants and setting up sustainable watering infrastructure (water mats with a wicking system) which will help us to greatly reduce the water needed to care for the plants that we grow for restoration projects and for individuals to plant in their homes. \nDay 2: We will be weeding\, mulching and caring for the Nuts’a’maat Forage Forest. \nParticipants should come prepared for the weather in comfortable clothes and shoes that they can get dirty. Please bring your own drinking water and all food needed. Friday you will have access to potable water but there will be no snacks. Galiano is only accessible by ferry so please plan accordingly with the ferry schedule. There is the potential for camping available for participants that want to do both days. Those who are interested can email nursery@galianoconservancy.ca for details. \nVolunteers help remove introduced yellow-flag iris as part of Make A Difference Week 2022

SUMMARY:GCA Supporter Appreciation Event
DESCRIPTION:The Galiano Conservancy team is so very grateful for your support this past year. From helping people of all ages connect to the natural world\, to restoring wetland habitat at the Millard Learning Centre\, to protecting the missing piece in the Mid-Island Protected Areas Network and the sensitive Garry Oak habitats of Mt Sutil with our valued conservation partners\, we accomplished much in 2023 thanks to the generous contributions of donors & volunteers like you. \nIf you donated or volunteered for the GCA in 2023\, you will receive an invitation by email and we hope you join us for our annual Supporter Appreciation Event to celebrate these important achievements\, which would not have been possible without your support. The event will be catered by chef Josh Blumenthal of Oxeye Galiano. \nOptional walks to the newly-acquired Quadra Hill property will be led by Chessi Miltner at 10am and 11:30am. \nStand of mature CDF forest at Quadra Hill.
