Outdoor Exploration Videos

When the Covid-19 pandemic (and my resulting illness) took away my ability to lead ecology tours and programs, I teamed up with my photographer kid, Taliesin River and created a video series in which I explore our local ecology. We were gratefully supported by a Neighbourhood Small Grant from the Bowen Foundation.

Images from the series:

A photo of a woman with brown hair and glasses, wearing a bear's claw necklace and a red shirt, standing among salmonberry leaves and ferns. On the right, the image says: Outdoor Exploration with Emily. Discover Bowen Island's edible plants, wildlife, history and ecology. Camera work by Taliesin River. Video series funded through a Responsive Neighbourhood Small Grant from Bowen Island Municipality, Bowen Island Community Foundation, and in partnership with the Vancouver Foundation.

A photo of a woman with brown hair, balancing out on a log in the middle of a lake. There are lily pads in the water beside her, and sunlit hillsides covered with coniferous forest, in the distance.

A photo og a woman with brown hair and a young child with brown hair, both squatting in a bed of sea lettuce and rockweed, pointing at creatures they're observing in a tidepool.

A woman with brown hair and glasses stands in a mossy hemlock and cedar forest. She's wearing gumboots, and there are many ferns around her, and a very large swampy puddle behind her.

A split-screen view of two photos. On the left, a pair of hands are holding the broken stem of a horsetail, so we can see its structure. On the right, a woman stands beside a mossy maple trunk, holding a small piece of licorice fern up to the camera.
