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 installment of Nearby Nature Project includes a lengthy news feed, a book recommendation, updates on my wildlife-friendly garden (spoiler - it's struggling due to heat / watering restrictions) and a call to action re: Canada's grizzly bears.

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!

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 installment of the Nearby Nature Project includes links to several recent news stories that touch on the reciprocity between nature connectedness and nature/human well-being; the 2024 Canmore Art Walk in the Woods temporary art installation; and recent nearby nature wildlife sightings.
