I look forward very much to late June on Galiano Island. This year is the eighth annual offering of the Advanced Principles and Practices of Ecological Restoration course. It's a highlight of the year for me getting to work in a community setting on restoration priorities with a talented group of students. There are changes each year, and in 2020 we welcome the new Program Centre, where the Galiano Conservancy Association bases its staff and operations. It will be great to have everyone at the Millard Learning Centre, an inspiring 76 hectare oceanfront property. We'll straddle summer solstice, and I'm hoping for warm days and starlit nights. As with last year, I welcome Dr. Jeanine Rhemtulla from UBC, who is an expert in forest ecology. She will lead us through some tree-aging work on site, and help understand the dynamics of landscape change and forest restoration. I've extended the course this year by one day, which will allow for a much need short break for everyone in the middle. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out: [email protected].
