Great morning session on knowledge mobilization in parks and protected areas at @bcparf. "Our systems have not been built with room for relationship building" -@CJBlye How can we create space for this in research institutions and PA agencies in a meaningful way? #BCPARF2022

Stoked to have contributed to the ACC's winter gazette this year with an article about our trip to the Tonquin Valley this past August examining impacts of climate change in the region. Take a read if you're interested 👇
The 2022 winter issue of our member magazine, The Gazette, is now available online! https://t.co/qoB5Kge3Ye Take a look, there's plenty of great stories and content in there. 😊
