SUMMARY:Ayum Creek Conservation Covenant Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Join TLC at our Ayum Creek Covenant\, the hidden gem of the Sooke Basin! This gorgeous salmon-bearing stream and estuary is 7 hectares of Capital Regional District (CRD) Park Reserve which is the southwest anchor for the Sea to Sea Green/Blue Belt established by CRD Parks. This year TLC will be mapping areas where invasive species in the park have established. Expect to traverse across the rocky streambed and measure out areas of scotch broom while taking in beautiful views of the estuary and nesting Purple Martins. \nLearning opportunities: Species identification\, invasive species management\, repeat photography protocols\, wetland ecosystem functions\, orienteering\, bushwhacking\, covenant monitoring protocols\, mapping and more. \nRegistration is required. Please let us know if you would like to join by sending TLC’s Environmental Technician Karen Iwachow an email at kiwachow@conservancy.bc.ca with the subject line: Ayum Creek Monitoring Volunteer. \nWe ask that volunteers be comfortable hiking for two to six hours both on and off trail (bushwhacking)\, with a full backpack containing water\, lunch and any personal needs. We are often in areas where washroom facilities are not available. We are hiking in uneven terrain where slips\, trips and falls are possible. Please take caution while walking through steep and unmaintained terrain. Please note that TLC staff are trained in First Aid and carry a kit. \nWe encourage carpooling to reduce our carbon footprint. Please indicate if you are interested in carpooling with other volunteers. TLC can provide rides for up to three people in TLC’s car.

SUMMARY:Atkins Road Conservation Covenant Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:TLC holds a conservation covenant on Capital Regional District’s (CRD) Park Reserve which sits between the Galloping Goose Trail and Millstream Creek near Mill Hill Regional Park. The 2 hectare protected area features a beautiful Garry Oak savanna above the riparian area and creek. We will start the trek from Atkins Road and walk down to the creek to observe and record the invasive species present. Last year TLC reported and removed Policeman’s Helmet (Impatiens glandulifera) from the stream. We will also check out the restoration site where TLC\, the CRD and Greater Victoria Green Team have been working on removing Aaron’s beard (a.k.a. St. John’s wort)\, which has been degrading the Garry Oak habitat. As well\, we will be conducting repeat photography\, a method to track ecosystem changes over time at our established sites. \nWe will be staying on the maintained trails and expect a 1 km round trip with a light elevation change of 30 meters as we trek down and up the creek. Pack plenty of water\, a lunch and appropriate clothes for the weather. \nLearning opportunities: Species identification\, invasive species management\, repeat photography protocols\, riparian and Garry oak ecosystem functions\, orienteering\, covenant monitoring protocols\, mapping and more. \nRegistration is required. Please let us know if you would like to join by sending TLC’s Environmental Technician Karen Iwachow an email at kiwachow@conservancy.bc.ca with the subject line: Atkins Road Monitoring Volunteer. \nWe ask that volunteers be comfortable hiking for two to six hours both on and off trail (bushwhacking)\, with a full backpack containing water\, lunch and any personal needs.

SUMMARY:Deertrails Naturalist Program
DESCRIPTION:NEWS RELEASE \nTLC LAUNCHES DEERTRAILS NATURALIST PROGRAM \nStudents to learn from seasoned naturalists and teachers\nLyn Baldwin\, Trevor Goward and Briony Penn   \nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 14\, 2019 \nClearwater\, BC – The Land Conservancy of B.C. (TLC) is pleased to announce the launch of the Deertrails Naturalist Program: an intergenerational\, place-based learning opportunity designed to facilitate the transfer of naturalist knowledge\, both scientific and traditional. \nFrom May 7 to 13\, 2019\, participants will explore a range of habitats from following deer trails to experiencing spring bird migration.  Students will learn about and deepen their connection to the natural world from seasoned naturalists and teachers Lyn Baldwin\, Trevor Goward and Briony Penn.  Cameo instruction this year includes sessions with Nancy Flood (ornithology)\, Cathie Hickson (volcanology) and Andy MacKinnon (mycology).  Aspiring naturalists will develop a wide array of skills needed to steward local natural places\, educate the public and new naturalists\, engage in research and inform conservation efforts. \nThe program fee of $595 plus GST includes meals and accommodations in Clearwater\, B.C.  Aspiring naturalists can apply online on TLC’s website at www.conservancy.bc.ca.  Deadline for applications is 5 p.m. on February 28\, 2019.  \nThanks to a generous donation from a TLC Member who wishes to remain anonymous\, the charity has created a $40\,000 endowment fund with the Victoria Foundation to provide a bursary for one naturalist student each year. \n“Building a network of naturalists is one of the means by which TLC is addressing the interrelated issues of biodiversity loss and climate change\,” said Cathy Armstrong\, TLC Executive Director. “We are looking forward to our first Deertrails Naturalist Program and sharing the natural world TLC Members have protected in the Clearwater Valley with up-and-coming naturalists.” \nThe land trust launched an acquisition campaign last spring to protect 38 acres of wildlife corridor in the Upper Clearwater River Valley.  TLC’s Clearwater Wetland and Wildlife Corridor now protects more than 113 acres of adjacent lands for their ongoing protection and appropriate use for research and educational programming. \nFor more details regarding the Deertrails Naturalist Program and the May 2019 session please view the program backgrounder or contact TLC at (250) 479-8053 or admin@conservancy.bc.ca. \nAbout The Land Conservancy of BC: \nThe Land Conservancy of BC (TLC) is a non-profit\, charitable Land Trust working throughout British Columbia. TLC’s primary mandate is to benefit the community by protecting habitat for natural communities of plants and animals. Founded in 1997\, TLC is membership-based and governed by an elected\, volunteer Board of Directors.  TLC relies on a strong membership and volunteer base to help maintain its operations. \n– 30 – \nMedia contact \nCathy Armstrong\nTLC Executive Director\nCell: (250) 588-4945\nEmail: carmstrong@conservancy.bc.ca

SUMMARY:Treasures and Tea: The Garden that Love Built
DESCRIPTION:Join Cathy Armstrong and volunteer docents from The Land Conservancy in discussing the legacy that lead to the creation of Abkhazi Garden\, a local community treasure. A love story fraught with privilege and tragedy\, the tale of Peggy Pemberton-Carter and Prince Nicholas Abkhazi is fitting for a blockbuster movie plot. Living in exile since escaping the Bolshevik Revolution\, the Prince met Peggy in Paris in 1922. Though World War II saw them held in prisoner of war camps more than 8\,000 km. apart\, the two found their way back to one another to become engaged in New York City in 1946\, and begin their new lives together in what would become known as Abkhazi Garden. \nDate: January 30\, 2019 \nTime: 1-2 p.m. \nLocation: Special Collections and University Archives\, Mearns Centre for Learning – McPherson Library\, Room A003 \nTreasures and Tea brings together the campus and the community to explore and share highlights from Special Collections and University Archives. Refreshments follow the informal talks.
