There's multiple entrances into #CuthbertHolmesPark - which is directly connected to Colquitz River Park. This is my fave entrance because it takes you straight into the forest 😊💚🌲 There's an unmarked entrance around the corner from here that also leads directly into forest & we exited from that trail.
These two nearby municipal parks are part of the Craigflower-Colquitz Watershed. There's estuary/bird & wildlife sanctuary areas in both parks. Lots of active rewilding projects happening year round in both parks too. Please keep your dogs on leash & out of nature restoration zones.

A low, stone retaining wall, covered with bright green moss, stands in the foreground, with bare tree branches and fallen brown leaves surrounding it. A nature trail is in background, beside the wall.

This is a landscape format photo (taken during the winter season) of an accessible hiking trail that passes through an urban forested area. The trail descends slightly and curves to the right at this location. Snow covers the trail's surface and "caps" each of the posts in the railing that runs along the left side. Snow coats the branches of the younger trees that line both sides of the trail. A low retaining wall made of wood is on the right side of the trail. It was a sunny at the time when the photo was taken, so shadows can be seen on the snow on the ground.

This is a landscape format photo of a paved accessible hiking trail that runs through an urban forest. The trail is about six feet wide and has trees on each side in this particular section. Most of the leaves are still green, but some fallen leaves can be seen on the trail's surface. A short wooden retaining wall is on the right side of the trail due to the elevation difference on that side. A large pine tree solidly stands immediately on the left side of the trail. The extent of the trees is captured in the frame, with the sky not being visible at all in the shot. As it was a sunny day, shadows from the trees can be seen on the walking surface.

Anyone know where I might buy a #WallAnchor like this? We have a short, 70yo brick #RetainingWall that is leaning & quotes to replace are ~$20k! I think these would hold or even return the wall back into place. I am capable of doing the work, but I CANNOT FIND THEM FOR SALE ANYWHERE. I’ve found a bunch of companies that’ll provide quotes for the work, but not sell the kits alone.

Got some quotes on replacing our 3 retaining walls (2 rotting wood, 1 leaning brick). Probably ~100ft x 3ft altogether.

Holy financial fiasco, Batman.

I did a little bit of homework & - acknowledging I am not a professional nor am I discounting the sheer physicality of the work - I am wondering if I could do this myself in phases. Any #DIYers build/replace a #retainingwall & have advice? I honestly think the biggest constraint would be time to devote to it.

Touching down lightly here to say, Happy New Year! I cannot believe it has been so long since I posted here. Though I post often on IG, a habit I suppose, I am not so often on here. I love this platform but it stopped working on my phone, that is probably why. How is everyone?!

In my catching up mode, here are three good things...

1. My #HouseReno is coming along beautifully and the #RetainingWall I was so worried about is being reconstructed today. Though it was supposed to all be done by the middle of last August, a combination of delays, weather and adding more items to the scope, have extended the schedule. It's OK. I love it.
2. I'm well into my doctorate in business admin program (focus on #OrganizationalLeadership) and really enjoying it. For the most of each of the days and weeks leading up to an assignment being due, I feel like I'm grappling with concepts (I don't have an MBA; this is a #DBA). Then, in the hours before, during and after submitting an assignment, I think, "wow, that wasn't hard at all." I am learning!
3. Work is fascinating, daily, and I feel so fortunate to be connected to bright, solutions-focused people working in architecture and engineering. My projects are now spanning two countries and involving more #CarbonModeling and #Sustainability oversight. I do a lot of quality control reviews of #HistoricRestoration / #AdaptiveReuse sustainability-related projects. It is emerging.
