This #FirstNations horticulturist Indigenizes plant spaces in B.C. #ShaylaChalifoux sub-consults for landscape architects on incorporating #NativePlants Edzi'u Loverin · CBC News · Posted: Nov 14, 2025 Excerpt: "According to the province of B.C., plant biodiversity in #BritishColumbia is unmatched in Canada, with at least 2,500 native vascular plant species, in addition to thousands of lichens, mosses and fungi. "Individuals can help support the land by planting native plants in pots on their balconies and gardens, said Chalifoux. " 'Why would you plant a native plant here? Because host nations have a relationship with that, or this specific plant is a host plant for a larva, a native butterfly, that needs to eat only this plant to survive,' said Chalifoux. " 'The land is hurting. One way we can help the land is by incorporating native plants.' "Chalifoux said though things are changing, not many municipalities have policies to ensure a percentage of native plants are included in city landscaping. "#CBCIndigenous asked the City of #Vancouver if it had any policies around the number of native plants required to be planted in urban planning. "A City of Vancouver spokesperson said in a statement that the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation is working to increase native plants in #UrbanSpaces and considers a number of factors in planning, including maintenance, resilience, and canopy cover, and consults with local #FirstNations. "A prime example of this is the addition of #PacificYew to the Stanley Park Restoration initiative, upon receiving feedback from local First Nations," said the statement. "The city said it has also provided native plants for #EcologicalRestoration in Vancouver parks to non-profits and community groups that hold community planting events."

📰 Apex Predators Are Quietly Reshaping the West 🦅 Western U.S.: Bald eagles, gray wolves, condors, and black bears are back from the brink due to decades of environmental policy, habitat restoration, and public support. 🌄 Their return is restoring ecological function at landscape scale, from scavenger networks to trophic balance, even as some species adapt to more urbanized terrain. 🤝 Coexistence now depends on community‑level choices: wildlife‑friendly ranching, lead‑free hunting, habitat connectivity, and everyday tolerance that allows wide‑ranging species to move, feed, and reproduce safely. 🔗 https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/apex-predators-comeback-western-united-states/ #SolarPunkSunday #WildlifeRecovery #ApexPredators #HabitatConnectivity #Conservation #WildlifeConservation #EcologicalRestoration #Biodiversity

📰 NC NEWS Asheville Unveils Riverfront Redesign 🏞️ After Tropical Storm Helene buried the French Broad River parks under debris and historic floodwaters, Asheville has introduced a unified five‑mile redesign. 🌊 The plan leans into nature‑based resilience, focused on flood‑adapted public spaces, restored wetlands, and improved river access. One welcome design element is the re-establishment of native rivercane to bolster riverbanks. 🧩 The project deploys climate‑aware infrastructure to strengthen habitats, recreation, and long‑term public safety. 🔗 https://www.ashevillenc.gov/news/city-of-asheville-introduces-unified-design-for-french-broad-riverfront-parks-recovery-project/ @NCConnect@fedigroups.social #AVL #Asheville #FrenchBroadRiver #ClimateResilience #UrbanPlanning #Parks #FloodAdaptation #Infrastructure #Environment #EcologicalRestoration

📰 Community-built Habitats are Helping Save a Threatened Frog 🌱 Arizona: Volunteers and agencies construct ponds to restore habitat for the endangered Chiricahua leopard frog. 🌽 These human-made water systems counter drought, disease, and habitat loss that pushed the species toward extinction. 🤝 A collaborative conservation effort showing how local action and simple infrastructure can revive vulnerable species. 🔗 https://insideclimatenews.org/news/27062026/efforts-to-save-threatened-frog-in-arizona/ #SolarPunkSunday #WildlifeConservation #Wildlife #EcologicalRestoration #Frogs #HabitatRestoration #CommunityAction #Biodiversity #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateResilience

TURTLE (OR TORTOISE) TUESDAY ☀️ In the southern Sahara, where degraded, baked, crusted soil prevented any seedlings to establish, ecological restorationists dispatched 500 "ecosystem engineers." More commonly known as African spurred tortoises, the ecotechnicians went to work digging burrows to avoid the desert heat and cold. 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 🐢🐢🐢 🌧️ Water stayed in the soil. Plants grew. Insects and microorganisms moved in, followed by birds and small mammals. 🛰️ From space the region even looks alive. ✅ This is another example of a successful low-tech nature-focused rewilding effort. (Recall my incessant beaver updates.) https://www.thecooldown.com/outdoors/sahara-desert-ecosystem-restoration-tortoises/ #TurtleTuesday #Environment #Rewilding #EcologicalRestoration #EnvironmentalRestoration #Conservation #Biodiversity
