When was the last time you stepped outside, took a deep breath of fresh air, and let yourself wonder at the beauty of creation?

With #EarthDay right around the corner, you might be considering lots of big questions when it comes to caring for our planet, but perhaps our first step in finding the answers is to simply let ourselves rediscover wonder. From there, the next steps to fixing our broken relationship with creation can begin to unfold. 

In this episode, Luke Wilson, CEO of @arochacanada, talks us through the importance of story in the climate change movement, the wonder of tasting a carrot fresh from the earth, and encourages each of us to find our own connection to creation.

As Christians, we believe in an artistic creator 🎨, one who has made all that we experience in creation. We’ve been entrusted to tend to these works of art so let’s continue to care for and celebrate it on April 25 with #GoodSeedSunday! ⁠

Can you imagine how different the world might be if we did this together?⁠

Michelle Jackson, our Conservation Research Biolog Michelle Jackson, our Conservation Research Biologist, recently wrote about Barn Swallows and their importance in Canada.⁠
⁠
🐦 To protect against their ongoing decline, she wrote up 6 tips for being a good barn swallow host this spring season. ⁠
🏠 Take action now to provide a good habitat for barn swallows in the coming months!⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Preserve natural habitat on your property.⁠
2️⃣ Consider building a pond/wetland or work to protect those that already exist.⁠
3️⃣ Provide easy swallow access to barns and sheds.⁠
4️⃣ Install wooden nest cups or shelves in outbuildings.⁠
5️⃣ Control bugs naturally.⁠
6️⃣ Monitor your barn swallow nest and share your observations.⁠
