Nature

An Online Canadian Nature Journal

Photos and Poetry, Essays and Articles on Environment, Ecology, B.C. Mountains and Rain Forest Wilderness


Have you ever hiked to the top of a ten-thousand foot mountain? Stood eye-to-eye with a cougar, bear or deer? Sat down on a road to protect your watershed? Made a fire by rubbing sticks together?

Whether you have done these things or not, my hope is to give you a glimpse at nature's vast beauty: with nature photos from the Canadian wilderness, essays from the B.C. interior rainforest, articles on environmental protection and nonviolence, and poetry from the heart of a natural lifestyle.

There's more than one wilderness adventure here, and more than one appeal for ecology. Indeed, more than one voice calling for more than a politics of survival. I invite you to join my quest for a deeper understanding and appreciation of what it is to live a natural life.
