2 sentenced for blocking logging in Vancouver Island’s Walbran Valley Two protesters from the Walbran Valley blockade were sentenced Tuesday, after pleading guilty to breaching an injunction order in November 2025. The order barred protestors from blocking access to the Tsawak-qin Forestry logging site. Twelve protesters were arrested in total. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/2-sentenced-walbran-valley-injunction-9.7297453?cmp=rss

California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) on the coast of Vancouver Island. Sometimes they come close to the shore to check you out and bark at you. #photography #VancouverIslandWildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #wildlife

A remnant giant from the ancient forest. I walk the forest paths. Often these are just deer trails my dogs have found. Sometimes there are treasures on these trails. This is the largest “wild” (not protected, not in a park or other set-aside) tree I’ve ever found. It’s a mystery to me why this giant was left standing when neighbours were felled. That was 100 years ago, so no one to ask. Instead of knowing, I stand in awe. This tree may be 700-1000 years old. Rare for Douglas Firs in this region. #trees #ancientforest #oldgrowth #vancouverisland #treasure

102km loop around Greater Victoria and out to Sooke Potholes. Perfect weather for a fun ride with friends, almost entirely on protected bike network. Humpback Road is closed to through traffic years ago now and is a treat to ride. #yyj #bikeTooter #vancouverisland

Talking about furry beasts, here's a black bear looking for salmon in a river on Vancouver Island. Photo taken a few years ago. #photography #wildlife #bears #VancouverIslandWildlife #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia

Peaceful day at a marsh on Vancouver Island, where two herons were patiently waiting for a prey to show up. #photography #BirdsOfMastodon #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #VancouverIslandWildlife

A beautiful encounter last week while tracking a cougar. The deer was nervous. A cougar was spotted there two days prior to my first visit. It is only a matter of time before I see and photograph one. There has been a lot of sightings in different areas in my region recently. #photography #wildlife #nature #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #VancouverIslandWildlife

Native banana slugs are welcome. They stick around our compost & leaf mulch piles. Unlike invasive slugs, they're uninterested in my food & pollinator gardens. They're happy munching up leaf/wood litter. #nature #BananaSlug #NativeSlug #coexistence #Saanich #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #biodiversity

Replying to @ascentale@sfba.social
@ascentale@sfba.social @nwarner@tenforward.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social A1. I am happily posting from #VancouverIsland, in the shadow of Mt. Prevost where the #wildfire was officially declared out on Wednesday. A1a. I was taught ABC - air, brakes, and chain. And I seldom do. 2-3 times a week, maybe? But when I intend to do something challenging I check everything thoroughly as a delaying tactic.
