The Colquitz River is a nearby salmon bearing river. It is also an important part of our local #watersheds.

One of a few truckloads of #driftwood dropped off at Gorge Park for the ongoing nature rewilding restoration project. This is near the estuary area of the large urban nature park; by the Gorge nature house.

In this area, it's almost impossible to avoid #RustRot on #pear #trees. In fact, many of us joke that you can identify pear trees by looking for rust rot. Not to worry because it doesn't affect fruit production & it's mostly an esthetics issue. The fruits will still grow & mature with rust rot on foliage.

Rex Welland was a longtime local resident who loved collecting lots of #HeritageApple species. He spent a lifetime, collecting cuttings & grafting to grow in his large backyard. He donated this land, which was his backyard, as part of #LandConservancy agreement with the Town of View Royal to keep it as a heritage orchard for the community to steward & share.

There's 125 heritage #apple species growing there.

At #WellandCommunityOrchard they have a wall of #BeeCondos for #NativeBees / #pollinators 🐝💗🐝
These tiny homes are used by #BlueOrchardMasonBees & #LeafcutterBees & #SandWasps & some other native bees.

Honeybees provide us with honey & beeswax but they aren't native here.

#VancouverIsland is home to at least 30 different native bee species. Almost all of these native bees are solitary.

#Hardhack aka #RoseSpirea - #SpiraeaDouglasii

#NativePlant in #PacificNorthwest regions. We've used this plant at several habitat/ecological restoration areas - across Southern #VancouverIsland. It is an excellent plant for riparian revegetation & pollinators love their bright pink, tiny flowers too.

#PNW #Indigenous peoples use the plant for making brooms & for hanging seafood to cook.

It grows in almost any soil conditions, even very dry & gravelly soil but prefers boggy/wet areas.

I really love that they planted #borage together with #calendula & #feverfew #plants 😍 So many pollinators were flying around this small area & feeding on the flowers.
There's sorrel growing closer to ground in the patch too.
