In this edition of Nearby Nature Project, I write about Canada's 2025 wildfire season, link to articles about Nature connectedness and provide an update on my ongoing birding, wildflower, wildlife and gardening Nearby Nature Projects.

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.

With spring migratory season well underway, it follows that this edition of Nearby Nature Project features a lot of bird photographs. I also touch on the start of the 2024 gardening season and the recently announced ban on private water craft in some of Canada's National Parks.

This instalment of the Nearby Nature Project touches on policy-making as a means to address biodiversity loss and garden "pests." I also share some birdwatching highlights, gardening successes and some cute backyard visitors.

Despite Canada's record breaking forest fire season, and the dampening effect of wildfire smoke on wellbeing, there are still plenty of opportunities to strengthen nature connectedness.
