The May long weekend is the Meadowlark Nature Festival. It is a fantastic festival of activities that explore and celebrate the natural environment of the Okanagan Similkameen.
I will be part of the leadership for the Urban Forest Walk this weekend! Come, join us, it will be fun!
Urban Forest Tour and Art Walk, Tour #39 Meadowlark Nature Festival. Explore, discover, question, identify, examine and ponder the nature and challenges of Penticton’s Urban Forest…the planned and unplanned Green Infrastructure of our city environment. Often overlooked, Penticton’s Urban Forest provides essential wildlife habitat, climate mitigation and human health support. With biologist Lia McKinnon (tree interpretation); Forest Bathing facilitator, Joanne Scofield (short sensory tune-up), and; Penticton Trees FB advocacy group founder, artist, Nature Wise columnist Dianne Bersea…we’ll ramble streets, by-ways, trails, creek sides and city overlooks of our rapidly changing city. Join us to experience some of the best and not so successful elements of Penticton’s natural environment. Note: this event includes subtle art component to enhance our observation skills, but absolutely no art experience required.
