Val & I (Anny Schaefer) had lots of fun doing our Jane’s Walk around James Bay today. AND we only went over one hour (we went 3 hours instead of 2)–woot! Thanks to everybody who came along for sharing your time, stories and love of the James Bay neighbourhood with us today!
The Google Map created for the walk is here: http://bit.ly/jqsUUa
I hope that people can somehow attach photos to the different spots but at this point I’m not too sure how that’s done…
Here are some of Val’s photos:
Back by popular demand this February: free Urban Restoration Walks around Victoria through UVic Continuing Studies.
February 10, 2011: Rithet’s Bog
February 17, 2011: Viaduct Flats (Glendale Gardens)
February 24, 2011: Ogden Point Breakwater with Dr. Val Schaefer of urbanecology.ca
Join us on Tuesday, January 11, 7:30 p.m. in Room 159 of the Fraser Building, at UVic for a free natural history presentation about the breakwater.
The Breakwater is an easily accessible microcosm of the astonishing marine biodiversity found on the southwest coast
of B.C. All 1,700 hectares of Victoria Harbour, including Ogden Point, were designated a Migratory Bird Sanctuary in 1923; the roughly triangular area between the breakwater, Holland Point and the outer edge of Brotchie Ledge are a protected area. Anny and Val Schaefer will share stories and photos of the cultural and natural assets over, under, and beneath this James Bay landmark.
Everyone welcome. Bring a friend and a coffee mug.
