 ES
DESCRIPTION:May 10 | 9:00–11:00 am | Jericho Park\nJoin us for a Nature 
 Vancouver special walk during Vancouver Bird Celebration Week that invi
 tes us to slow down\, pay attention\, and deepen our relationship with the
  living landscape.\nTogether we will wander through meadow\, forest edge\,
  and shoreline\, listening for birdsong overhead\, noticing the textures o
 f bark and leaves\, and learning about the plants that quietly sustain lif
 e all around us.\nThis collaborative walk brings together three perspectiv

  Regier will introduce some of the trees that shape the local ecosystem a
 nd provide habitat for birds and other wildlife. Joanna Chin will guide

  notice bird behaviour and sound.\nLoriAnn is a descendant of the T’suu

 ch\, Swedish and Celtic ancestry. Drawing on her deep knowledge of traditi
 onal plant medicines and relationships with the Land\, she will introduce 
 participants to plants that have long supported both people and wildlife.\
 nTogether we will explore how birds\, trees\, and plants are woven togethe
 r in a living web of relationships. Participants will be encouraged to slo
 w down\, observe closely\, and listen — not only to birds\, but also to 
 the stories the Land can tell.\nCome ready to walk slowly\, look closely\,
  and listen deeply.\nLoriAnn will also have copies of her book Revered Ro
