In the interior of BC, we have green grass and flowers growing in the valley bottoms, but are surrounded by mountain passes, avalanches, floods, and other road closures. It can feel like we are on an island.

Safe travels to everyone on the move over the coming weeks.

These two new cases are deeply concerning, and we are working with our partners to limit the spread of CWD as much as possible. Hunters, First Nations and the community are key to helping us manage CWD to protect our wildlife. (2/4)

‘Sheila just went for it’: York University scientist Sheila Colla remembered as a fierce advocate to save wild bees

Thankkkkks Adam! Like supervisor, like student.

Devastated to lose my friend @savewildbees.bsky.social today. She was fierce, loyal, bright, and funny. She made those of us who knew her better people, parents, and scientists.

First day back to work after a week away....a week where most of my colleagues had at least 1 stat holiday or were on vacation. Time to event predictions for return to inbox 0?

Most of my friends dads have died. And these friends are all amazing dads themselves. Today, we are all wishing we could show to our dads that we are doing a good job too.

Day 2 of the Crossings and Corridors Forum at #UBCO. Today we shared ideas for collaboration, implementation, and research to make safer and more connected landscapes.

check out this @cbcnews-rss.bsky.social interview with #UBCO and @biodivpathways.bsky.social wildlife scientist @claytontlamb.bsky.social #RoadEcology #WiRELab www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Day 1 and done of the Crossings and Corridors Forum at #UBCO. We visited a local turtle crossing (with roadkilled turtle), Canada's first wildlife overpass, and the newly formed Okanagan Corridor, with Syilx perspectives shared by former #WiRELab student Addison Fosberry. Days 2 and 3 coming up!
