We think of trees as individuals. That’s how they are sold in nurseries, with the root ball bound in burlap, planting instructions attached. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, insert the tree, tamp fresh soil around the root ball, mix in a generous sprinkling of gentle fertilizer or bone meal, and fill the hole with water. Allow to soak in. Fill the hole with available soil. Tamp the soil and water again. The curiosity is that this freshly planted specimen will neither grow as tall nor live as long as the same species of trees seeded naturally in a forest without the benefit of pampering or even breaking the soil. Why?⁠

Our Manitoba Program Manager, Zoe Matties, was invited to participate in a climate change panel discussion yesterday! Go @zoematties! 💪 Thanks @booth_uc! 😊

“Climate change is as much a spiritual and moral issue as it is about environmental degradation...it's about loving my neighbour, caring for the poor, preparing future generations and preparing ourselves to be Christ-like during difficult times." Thank you so much to Zoe Matties from A Rocha, Crystal Porter from The Salvation Army, and musician & activist Steve Bell for participating in our "Christian Response to Climate Change" panel discussion this morning. It was a thought-provoking and challenging conversation. We will be posting a video of the presentation on Youtube. Watch for that soon! #climatejustice #climateaction #boothuc #community #gathering

Last week we had our annual team gathering (@arochamanitoba @arochaontario) at the Brooksdale Environmental Centre! Thank you to Loren & Mary Ruth Wilkinson, Soohwan Park, and @nitasvh for their time and wisdom. 🙌

We almost didn't take these photos because of the rain that was coming down the whole week. 🌧️ Thankfully, it let up for just long enough for us to snap these ones here! 📸

Happy 2020 from the entire team at A Rocha Canada! May your year be filled with more opportunities for love, whimsy, and wonder. ❤️😁💭

We recently asked our staff 👯‍♂️👯‍♀️ how they are caring for creation during the winter season ❄️. Rick Faw, our VP of Programming , said this:⁠
⁠
"My daughter, Zoë (13), and I have been filling a few bird feeders over the past few months. 🐦🐤 We’ve got a couple of hummingbirds that consistently visit us as well as numerous chickadees, juncos, finches, and a few others. Zoë says her favourites are the black-capped chickadees. We have devised a kind of ‘roof’ for the feeders that keeps the seed drier. And the chickadees seem to appreciate the cover when it rains."⁠
⁠
To learn more ways to care for creation during the winter time, check out our latest blog post! 🔗 in bio!⁠

"Reading the words 'if everyone forgets about nature, it will fall apart and we don’t want that' written in a letter sent to me from an 11-year-old student in 2013, made me realize how far my message had traveled. This was one of 30 letters I received from a Haitian school after students watched a presentation I had given on nature deficit disorder.⁠
⁠
These students feared that they wouldn’t have the opportunity to experience nature because they didn’t have access to it. This made me recognize something that many people in Vancouver don’t – we are incredibly lucky to live in an environment that hasn’t seen losses as significant as other parts of the world, but that is predicted to change quickly. Action is required on a global scale and that’s where education comes in."⁠
- Miranda Andersen⁠
⁠
Fraser Basin Council uses the "My Climate Story" platform to gather inspiring stories of youth in action for creation. Take the time in this new year to learn more about how youth in BC are taking action! If you know any youth in BC with a story to share, you can also take part in inspiring others by submitting their story!⁠ 🔗 in bio!⁠
