A Year-end Thank You!

katemacquarrie22

It’s been a busy year: more than 100 educational posts on the plants, fungi, and wildlife of PEI, and 48 in-person events at 25 locations across the province.



I want to sincerely thank the 1,000 people who attended my public walks and talks on PEI, the more than 10,000 people from around the world who follow me here and on Facebook, and everyone who took the time to like, comment, or share my posts. I’m truly grateful to each of you for supporting this work. 

 

Today, most people recognize more corporate logos than wild species in their own neighbourhoods. Together, we can change this.  Let’s learn, explore, and – most importantly – reconnect with nature!

 

I’ll be taking a break for a few weeks but will be back in the New Year with more original content, new programming, and some exciting announcements!


In the meantime, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and all the best to you and yours for the New Year!

Congratulations on your success and I wish you a happy Christmas. On this occasion, the question: L.M. Montgomery mentions in his books about the holiday custom of decorating houses on the Prince Edward Island wreaths of some kind of Lycopodium (I think). Has this custom survived? "They gathered creeping spruce and ground pine for wreaths, until day smiled back at night over white-bosomed hills and they came back to Green Gables in triumph"

To my knowledge, the wax was used to scent candles (and soaps & lotions) rather than make them. I actually tried this myself many years ago. I had far more berries than those in this video - close to a five gallon bucket, days of picking! - and got about as much wax as shown. I quickly concluded the cost/benefit wasn’t worth it. 😊. Happy New Year!
