SUMMARY:Knowledge walk: Special trees in Comox
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a walk to celebrate Comox trees on Saturday\, October 3\, 2026. We will meet in the parking lot of the Comox Tennis Courts at 1:00 p.m. This 1.5 to 2 hour walk will be led by tree lovers Alora Griffin and Barbara Neilson. The number of participants is limited\, and registration is required (see the RSVP link below). \nWe will walk beneath the graceful boughs of some of Comox’s glorious trees\, while enjoying their surroundings and the ambience they create for us. The trees selected will include examples of all the native trees now protected by the Town of Comox\, as well as some exotic trees. \nWe will discuss their biological features and historical significance as we amble along Brooklyn Creek and through Filberg Park and other parts of Comox.  Some terrain in Brooklyn Creek is uneven and a flight of stairs is involved. \nBring your curiosity and questions as well as a water bottle and sun or rain protection\, if needed. Comfortable walking shoes are advised. Children are welcome but please leave your furry friends at home\, except for service dogs. \nThis event is free\, but donations are welcome.

SUMMARY:Wild Woman of the Woods (paid event)
DESCRIPTION:[NOTE: The “Free” notation above and in the Details at the bottom is not correct. See below for payment details.] \nComox Valley Nature invites you to a special opportunity to learn and connect with K’omoks First Nation storytelling\, benefitting the KFN culture department. Pamela Mitchell\, Culture Manager for KFN\, has created a workshop around the legend of Dzunuk’wa the wild Woman of the Woods. Kwakwak’wakw oral tradition tells of a giantess that lives in dark forests and has thick messy hair\, a black face and full red lips. \n \nThis workshop is a great way to learn about local Indigenous traditions through a hands-on project that creates lasting memories about the K’ómoks First Nation culture. For this project we will be creating a wild woman ornament; you will colour the iconic red lips and face of the wild woman and hand-spin the wool for the crazy wild woman hair. While we work on our ornaments\, Pamela will read her version of the wild woman story. \nThis project takes about 1-1.5 hours. Workshop fee is $36 which includes the cost of a supply kit. Proceeds go to the KFN Culture Dept. \nTo join the waitlist email secretary@cvnature.ca
