Project update — Network of Nature Guiding Council
Over the past several months, Indigenous and Western Science experts from various ecosystems have been working to share knowledge and feedback about Canada’s native plant database—the Network of Nature 🌱
The Network of Nature is a national movement created to restore Canada's biodiversity by motivating, educating and empowering individuals and organizations to plant locally appropriate native species. 🌸
Use the link in our bio to access the database and identify native plants that are appropriate for restoration, gardening, and other planting needs across Canada ☝️

Freezing for a good cause! ❄️ Take the plunge into icy waters to support rich storytelling and engaging interviews that take place under the banner of Canadian Geographic and the Explore podcast. Every splash helps bring incredible stories of exploration to life. 🌍✨
This icy extravaganza invites participants to take a chilly dip for a fantastic cause, raising funds to support critical programming including expedition and research grants, educational programs, and Canadian Geographic’s Explore Podcast.
The @rcgs_sgrc, @cangeo & CIER are working together to share Indigenous and Western knowledge relating to plants, wildlife and ecosystems across Canada to encourage participation for future generations. 🌱
Stay tuned for updates on this exciting new project! #NetworkOfNature
