Been off here for a bit, giving myself a little break. Hope field season has been good to everyone! Here are some of my highlights. #ecology #tek #invasivespecies

The king reading a land acknowledgement is all you need to know about land acknowledgements.

Thank you to En’owkin Center & Penticton Indian Band for hosting my Indigenous Ecology Lab @ sharing time & knowledges on Syilx lands with us today. Incredible wetland restoration project & so many good words shared! #ecology #traditionalecologicalknowledge #invasivespecies

Honoured to be a finalist for the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize as part of the 2025 BC and Yukon Book Prizes! Incredible to be amongst such amazing books and authors! #bcandyukonbookprizes #ecology

Lucky enough to be sitting with and learning from one of my heros, Dr. David Suzuki, at the First Nations Climate Gathering. Looking forward to presenting about climate impacts to food systems and food sovereignty at the event. #climatechange #ecology #foodsecurity #indigenousknowledge #tek

Big Leaf. Acer macrophyllum.

It’s like this under the mother tree too. Never seen this before! Maybe I’ll be a Maple Tree farmer now.

I might end up broke! Not pictured, 12 more beds like this!

When mulching with leaves backfires 🤦🏻‍♀️. Whatever the secret sauce for breaking maple seed dormancy is, this winter found it. Now what?! #gardening #ecology #farming

Just cancelled my lab’s in-person participation at a conference in the United States. I’m so disappointed and sad that it has come to this. I agonized for days over this and got some very good advice to arrive at this decision. What a sad and unnecessary situation. #canada #academicchatter #ecology

So incredibly proud of PhD Cand from my lab, Vanessa Jones, on her first place win for grad student presentations at the Canadian Weed Science Society/Weed Science Society of America conference this week! @forestry.ubc.ca #weedscience #wssa2025 #cwss2025 #invasivespecies

Talking wildfire restoration today and making good trouble with my fire boss pal Joe Gilchrist! #indigenousstem #ecology #goodfire

Thanks! Had to spread the love! ShopTaby is the best!

Kinda fun to see this tonight! The best rankings ever for my book, “Medicine Wheel for the Planet”! Thanks for the support 🙌🏽 #ecology #indigenousscience #invasivespecies #climatechange #medicinewheelfortheplanet

Who needs a groundhog when you’ve got bears? Guess it’s time to be a little more vigilant again. Bring on spring! #bears #tracks

We are so excited to be doing research alongside Kwiakah First Nation and have use of the incredible facilities they are building in Phillips Arm! A dream to assist with land healing in the Great Bear Rainforest! #ecology #indigenousstem @ubcforestry www.nationalobserver.com/2025/01/31/n...

A great afternoon with the Nuu-chah-nulth territories’ land guardians for their Indigenous stewardship workshop with Parks Canada (Pacific Rim National Park Reserve). An awesome group of like minded folx. Good medicine to share with them. #indigenousstem #landguardians #ecology #parkscanada

The hope of starting seeds has begun. I love this setup. It’s over the furnace vent too so no need for heat mats. Tomatoes, peppers, flowers for now. Squash, cukes and herbs in a few weeks. #gardening #foodsecurity

This week I received confirmation of my registration under Canada’s Indian Act. A mix of emotions comes with it. I only share because my identity was made the business of other, laterally violent people last year & to shine a light on the fact many of us are still finding our way home. Onwards.

I’ll ask the organizers if they plan to record and report back!
