Golden larch, yellow and orange leaves, frost and snow are the main ingredients in the annual tug-of-war between fall and winter.

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!

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.

It's a quiet time of year for the Nearby Nature Project - no gardening, not many birds, so mostly observing the ebb and flow of the winter season. But I did attend a virtual screening of a wonderful short film about our beautiful turquoise mountain lakes. And I report on my limited participation in the 2024 Great Backyard Bird Count.

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.
