This edition of the Nearby Nature Project includes a short news feed, a board game review and a reflection on nature-friendly gardening through Calgary's outdoor watering bans in 2024.

This month I've thought about potential effects on nearby nature due to Calgary's water emergency. Also, it's been an okay month for birding, a good month for bear sightings and the start of wildflower season!

Host PJ challenge us to express our Point of View photographically this month. Here, I share thoughts re: April snow, EVs and more.

Birding in Tierra del Fuego National Park, Argentina

On March 21, 2024March 27, 2024 By GeoKsIn Argentina3 Comments

Booking a guided birding tour to Tierra del Fuego National Park turned out to be one of the best decisions of our time in Ushuaia, Argentina. Not only did we encounter almost every headline bird species in the area, we learned a lot about the region's plants and other wildlife. Plus we didn't have to worry about finding the right local bus service to get back to our hotel!
