CHI is looking to expand our TREES 4 TOMORROW Land Bank!Last year Conservancy Hornby Island worked with local communities and organizations to plant more than 10,000 trees to help fight the effects of global warming. COVID-19 has made it difficult to continue the project in 2021 but we are determined to plant another 10,000 trees across the Salish Sea region, and we need YOUR help!
We are happy to announce that CHI has planted over 600 trees on Hornby Island this month. We would like to get 1500 trees in the ground by the end of May! Here’s how you can help:
1. If you live on HORNBY ISLAND, DENMAN ISLAND or in the COMOX VALLEY area and would like to take part in this climate action initiative by having trees planted on your property, please send an email to chitrees4tomorrow@gmail.com to register your property to be part of our “Land Bank”
2. Support Trees 4 Tomorrow by donating online so CHI can continue to plant trees to help fight climate change. Donate today here: bit.ly/chiTrees4Tomorrow. All online donations will receive an instant tax receipt.
3. Purchase Trees 4 Tomorrow seedlings at Beulah Creek Nursery and support local business and Trees 4 Tomorrow!
Thank you to everyone who is supporting this #ClimateAction initiative and helping us reach our 10,000-trees goal in 2021!

Have you spotted a Yellow-spotted millipede lately? These fascinating detritivores can smell like almonds and are essential to the soil decomposition process in our Pacific Northwest forests.

Tonight from Rocky Point Bird Observatory: “As the world warms, animals from across the tree of life are predicted to get smaller. However, testing whether or not this has happened has proven difficult, as it requires huge amounts of high quality data across long periods of time. Dr. Brian Weeks takes advantage of a dataset that includes over 70,000 specimens of birds that died following collisions with buildings in Chicago over the past 40 years to understand how bird morphology (body size and shape) have changed. He will talk about some of the patterns that have emerged from this work and what may be driving the observed trends, as well as the implications of these results both for migratory birds and the world’s biodiversity more generally.”This content isn't available right now
