You are presumed to be honest and responsible without evidence to the contrary beyond a reasonable doubt… on the balance of probablilties you are justified by 51 % likelyhood.
It’s coming up to the 21st of November next Thursday. And that’s the evening that the Nicola naturalists are doing a presentation on wildfire. The presentation begins at 7:00 p.m. at the Nicola Valley institute of Technology, top of the hill Bell Shaw Avenue in Merritt, British Columbia. The event is hosted by the Nicola naturalist Society Incorporated and its members.
The group is fond of saying everybody is welcome. They’re going to appreciate memberships and donations. And there is also a random drawing fundraiser for donated items at the break and the money goes toward a bursary for an nvit student.
We are comfortable more with fall approaching, you ?
Timely
The recent and prolonged warming is motivating action.
We are probably facing a bubble as economic power is increased by the completion of the Trans Mountain expansion . The gold weld was done 👍 in a small ceremony in recent weeks.
Carbon tax revenue available
The increase in available Fossil energy will be accompanied by revenues that are dedicated similar to road construction in the province. These revenues will come from carbon tax and fund plans that reduce and mitigate carbon in our atmosphere. Once again, good luck to all those in these endeavors and to those that have to use their brain power to put forward alternatives to what might be successful planning.
In the natural world, success is often defined by an organism’s ability to thrive and reproduce within its environment. Traits like adaptation, resilience, efficient resource utilization, and the ability to form symbiotic relationships contribute to the success of species in their natural habitats. Additionally, factors such as predator avoidance, reproductive success, and environmental balance play crucial roles in determining success in the natural world.
Adaptation in the natural world can generally be viewed as a multifaceted process encompassing several stages:
Recognition of Change: Organisms first encounter a change in their environment, which may present either a new challenge or opportunity.
Response and Adjustment: Following the recognition of change, organisms respond by making adjustments in their behavior, physiology, or morphology to better fit the new conditions.
Reproduction of Adapted Traits: Successful adaptations may be passed on through reproduction, leading to the proliferation of advantageous traits within a population over successive generations.
Integration and Stability: Over time, adapted traits become integrated into the population and contribute to its stability within the environment.
These stages illustrate how adaptation unfolds over time as species interact with and respond to changes in their natural habitats.
This discourse or podcast is interesting and timely as mankind once again is considering intervention with nature as a remedy for climate matters. The notation of interdependancy between Krill and Krill eating whales strikes home.
The interdependency between krill and krill-eating whales is a crucial ecological relationship. Krill serves as a primary food source for many whale species, forming the cornerstone of their diet. In turn, krill populations are regulated by the feeding habits of these whales, creating a delicate balance in the marine ecosystem. This relationship has drawn attention due to its significance in understanding the broader impacts of climate change and human intervention in natural systems. The video we shared delves into this topic, providing valuable insights into the complexities of ecological interdependence.
We all need to contribute as much as humus is possible. Forgive me for the humour and excuse the leap from soils to whales however nutrients are returned to our lands regularly by fauna and those system developed over time and when we use technology to ramp up production oten something is destroyed or replaced with an ecological ticking timer in it.
The catch phrase “for my grandchildren sake” is trite in application because its often empty of real accountability and like all catch overused and under done. If in other words of commitment you used “for my grandfathers sake” you may find yourself in a better field of actionable pramatics.
Tom Willms lead in the reintroduction of beavers to the Nicola Valley is presenting the program this Thursday at The Nicola Naturalist Society INC’s regular meeting. The meeting begins at 7:PM at the NVIT lecture theater Belshaw avenue top of the hill campus.

They don’t always build lodges some have network tunnels in the river banks. The places where they build lodges and dams once considered nusence are now recognized as natures fire control. KDG
Meet Tom this Thursday and hear the beaver scoop. Free parking membership or donation encouraged;the group often says all welcome. A draw foe donated goods is available proceeds go towards a student bursary at the college.
Crows have a complex and fascinating relationship with people. These highly intelligent birds are known for their problem-solving skills and adaptability. Throughout history and across cultures, crows have been both revered and feared. They are often associated with different symbolic meanings, ranging from wisdom and insight to mischief and foreboding.
In some communities, crows are considered sacred and are even seen as bearers of messages from the spirit world. However, they are also sometimes viewed as pests due to their scavenging habits and ability to cause damage to crops.
Studies have shown that crows can recognize individual human faces and hold grudges against people who have threatened them in the past. On the other hand, crows have also been known to form mutually beneficial relationships with humans. For example, some crows have been observed bringing gifts (such as shiny objects) to people who regularly feed them.
Overall, the relationship between crows and people is multifaceted, with aspects of both conflict and cooperation. This unique dynamic continues to capture the interest of researchers and enthusiasts alike.
When exploring nature, it’s important to be cautious of potential dangers such as wild animals, extreme weather conditions, and rough terrain. Keeping a safe distance from wildlife, staying informed about the local weather forecast, and being prepared with appropriate gear and first aid knowledge can help mitigate these risks. Engaging in activities like hiking, camping, or wildlife photography can be fulfilling, but it’s crucial to always prioritize safety. Remember to respect the environment and follow established guidelines to minimize your impact on the ecosystem.
If you are interested in delving deeper into this topic, there are plenty of resources available online, such as articles, videos, and courses that can provide valuable insights into staying safe while enjoying the great outdoors.Ai
The local naturalist club will be holding their January meeting on Thursday the 18th starting at 7 PM, at the local college lecture theater top of the hill on Belshaw avene Merritt BC.
Featured presenter Frank Ritcey will show photos and talk about his experience in Wells Gray Provincial park.
Frank has had a storied career that included a wildlife people conflict mediator.
The Society is fond of saying all welcome, membership or donation requested. (Silent draw) for donated items go towards a nursery for a college student.
Free parking no beverages or eats inside the lecture theater.
