Unit 01 Blog Post

I believe my current relationship with nature is very strong and nature itself means so much to me. As I grew up, my parents always took me and my sister camping up in Northern Ontario. We camped at parks like Lake Superior, and Sleeping Giant. As I got older and was able to make more of my own decisions, I decided to work at Algonquin Provincial Park for the summers of 2020 and 2021. During those two summers, I learned that nature will always be a part of who I am, and that to be content with my life, I need access to natural areas. For 2 years I lived and worked in one of the most beautiful parks in our country. I went camping every set of days off I could, did hikes every single night after work, and relaxed at secret lakes very few people know even exist. There is just something about the exploration of an area where there is very few other people nearby. That feeling of being truly alone in nature is what I crave when I go on my camping trips. Being truly isolated from the outside world allows me to really think about my life, and allows me to reflect upon myself positively. Every time I return from a camping trip I feel sad that it is over, but also refreshed and grateful to live in a country where natural areas are valued inherently. I now work for the Environmental Services Department with a Municipality in southern Ontario. Although I am a few hours away from the main areas where I enjoy camping, I still make sure to get up north every few weeks. My introduction to nature at the beginning of my life would have to be thanks to my parents. They too have an undeniable passion for natural areas and have instilled those values into me. So for who offered me a “sense of place” I would have to say my parents.

I have attached a picture to this post. The picture is of me in October 2022 when my sister and I went camping in Jasper National Park, in Alberta. This was one of my favourite trips I've ever been on, considering I'm used to camping in Ontario. Seeing this insane landscape made me grateful to live in such a beautiful country. Every time I look back at pictures from this trip I realize how varied the Canadian landscape is. From the prairies to the Arctic Ocean to the rocky mountains, Canada is truly a beautiful place and the place to be for nature lovers.

important question

okay. lets say hypothetically you have a choice between one of two vacations sometime in the next year and a half. you are going with two relatives. you can only pick one trip BUT there is also the possibility of the second one happening in 3-5 years. also assume you start this in my city not yours and the prices are roughly equal and not a huge deal.

please read both options all the way ok i need help

the choices are:

A. fly to edmonton (4.5hr flight), stay for a day or two, then take the TRAIN!!! (!! train !!) through the canadian rockies (day and a half or so) to vancouver and stay there for a few days before flying back. the pros of this are there is a fucking TRAIN!!!!!! and you get your own cabin but you dont really care about vancouver or edmonton. just train and mountains. BUT you've been to every canadian province except bc and alberta

B. fly to iceland (5 or 8 hr flight, depends) and stay for a week in the summer. you HAVE been to iceland before but you were 3. you are really into volcanoes and you also want to buy yarn there. you would have more fun at the destination but there is no train :( also you don't speak icelandic.

Blog post 1

Growing up, I was lucky enough to live in a space where nature was always front and center. Whether I was playing in my grandfather’s garden or spending long weekends camping with my family, the outdoors was my happy place. My dad, who studied forestry, made sure to share his passion for nature with us. He’d point out different types of clouds, identify trees, and teach us about the little things we might not notice otherwise. Thanks to him, I developed a love for nature and all its hidden surprises.

As I got older, my relationship with nature evolved. I wanted to see what other parts of the world had to offer beyond Ontario’s landscapes. So, I began to travel and experienced some amazing adventures. Most recently, I traveled to Paris and backpacked through Italy and Greece. The Amalfi Coast and Lake Como blew me away with their stunning mountains, and Greece’s clever way of dealing with the heat by painting buildings and streets white was fascinating.

Hiking has always been a way for me to feel close to nature. In the past couple of years, I’ve hiked in Costa Rica and Banff, Alberta, and both experiences were incredible.

Costa Rica, being so close to the equator, is bursting with wildlife. Hiking through rainforests, seeing volcanoes, waterfalls, and dense jungle forests was an amazing experience. It really broadened my understanding of what nature is and how different countries appreciate their land It was also amazing that there was always free fruit hanging from the trees!

On the other hand, hiking in Banff made me appreciate my own country even more. The Canadian Rockies with their amazing mountains and wildlife felt like a whole new world. It was like I was rediscovering my home and reconnecting with the wild beauty of Canada.

Looking back, I realize that my dad’s love for nature and those early camping trips laid the groundwork for my evolving relationship with the outdoors. My dad gave me a sense of place by showing me that trees and plants are far more significant than I initially realized. He helped me see that every landscape I encounter has been here long before me and has been experienced by many people over the decades and even centuries. Nature has become an endless adventure for me, a place where I always find peace and joy. Whether I’m exploring new countries or revisiting old favourite trails, the forest remains a place where I feel connected to nature.

they’re canadian but they still have their accents so they argue about how to say z and talk about how warm it feels in -10 celsius weather . scar takes off his toque and grian proceeds to tease his awful hat hair while his glasses literally start condensing from the cold air

scar watched a bunch of american tv shows and grian almost exclusively watched winnie the pooh and peppa pig and that’s why they have the accents they do <3<3 they wear t-shirts and shorts when it’s -14°C. the get excited about -5°C in march <3<3 grian has a habit of stealing scars toques even when scar buys them matching ones <3<3

they remind each other to plug in their vehicles when it goes below -20°C. scar knows how to calculate celsius into fahrenheit very quickly and always does it to annoy grian. grian to combat this, almost always says the temperature in either kelvin or rankine <3<3

they both make fun of the province of quebec because it is their right as canadian citizens and have alberta rat control propaganda posters on their wall. they once took a road trip through saskatchewan just to make sure it was still flat (spoiler alert, it was). they made sure to gas up on alberta’s side of lloydminster so that it was cheaper <3<3

they go to the rocky mountains every now and then, not because they like mountains but because they want to see if they can win a fight against a mountain goat (spoiler alert, they cannot). they have never encountered one but one time the saw a moose and finally had a shred of common sense and hid in a bush until it was safe and clear <3<3

scar wants a pet polar bear, grian tries to tell him how dangerous it is. they go to churchill, manitoba (the polar bear capital of the world) to see an actual polar bear. this only spurs scar on <3<3

Here are some photos I took when I went to my trip to Banff, Alberta, like one month ago (yeah, I know)! 🏞️

I originally wanted to carry my Meta & Magolor plushies to the West, but unfortunately, my plane ticket only allowed for one free bag, so I instead opted for the much smaller pipe-cleaner figurines I made about 3-4 years ago!

It was super fun to carry them around while I was hiking and admiring Alberta’s beauty! 🥰

For starters, Banff National Park is the fourth oldest national park in the world, and the oldest in Canada. It has a lot of unique protected fauna, flora and scenery. It’s in Alberta, not too far from Calgary, and it covers the Canadian portion of the Rocky Mountains.

More info-dumping about my trip and more photos (with or without blorbos) under the cut! 👇

This is the view from Sulphur Mountain’s summit. I went to the top thanks to a gondola (because the peak is really high).

This is Moraine Lake! Probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen in my life. Trust me, the actual scenery is much more grandiose than in the photos!

Lake Louise is not too far from there. Although its water’s color isn’t as unique as Moraine Lake’s, it looked absolutely gorgeous.

I’ll never forget the view of Lake Minnewanka, or the forests and canyons surrounding it; neither will I forget almost having a heat exhaustion from walking for too long under the sun and running out of water in the middle of the forest. 😅

Finally, I present you my absolute favorite place in the park. Moraine Lake is unique, yes, but Johnston Canyon is loterally a corner of paradise; beautifully-arranged trees, rocks and plants, and absolutely gorgeous waterfalls. The droplets felt so refreshing after a long hike! My brother told me that in winter, the waterfalls freeze! What a shame! I’ll be forced to come back there another time… 😩

Of course those are just the main places I’ve gone in those five days. There were also a lot of shops, restaurants, a few museums around. My hostel was awesome too, and I’ve explored a trail and ended up in some camping site in which I saw a wapiti. Here are some photos of animals I’ve taken during my trip (starting with the creature):

I loved this trip so much! Making this post reminded me of all the nice memories I lived in Banff. I feel lucky for having such an opportunity! It was also the first time of my life in a plane, and I did it alone (it being a domestic flight did help though)! 😄

Thank you so much for reading all this text and looking at my photos! I hope you enjoyed it, feel free to share if you want to. Have an amazing day/night… and a cookie! 🍪 Azu🦋

Unit 1 Blog Post

Describe your current relationship with nature. How has this developed/evolved? Who offered you “a sense of place,” as described in our textbook?

Hey everyone! My name is Leena and I am looking forward to conversing and interacting with you all this semester! Here is what I have to say on my current relationship with nature:

Previously, I was never one to enjoy or better yet, appreciate the beauty of nature. Even though I constantly heard how important getting fresh air was and the natural sunlight for essential vitamins and the other health implications there are, I was never convinced enough to actively want to take walks or simply be outdoors. Although I was an athlete that played competitive hockey, soccer, basketball, essentially anything to get my body moving and was outdoors due to some sports I played, I still took nature for granted.

Upon coming to university, I didn’t have those sports that I could rely on to keep an active lifestyle. In order to stay active, I decided to try walking on the treadmill for about 30 minutes everyday while also fitting in a workout every now and then. Eventually, walking on the treadmill got quite boring and I decided to take on walking outdoors, which completely changed my perspective on life. 

To me, there is nothing like being in the presence of nature and hearing the beautiful sounds of creatures and the natural environment. The gentle rustling of leaves, lovely songs of birds, the sights of calming colours in the leaves, sky, and gardens are just a few examples of what nature has to offer. Whenever I am outside I feel mindful, relaxed and even creative. Breathing in fresh air makes all the difference for me as it significantly reduces my stress levels and constant state of overthinking while also boosting my endorphin levels, physical and mental health. Also, the feeling of a sense of connection to nature and the observation of our diverse ecosystem enables our sense of connection to all living things, which further reminds us of our place in the natural world.

Additionally, in my personal experience, I feel as though it has been more of a “what” rather than a “who” that has offered me a sense of place. To further explain this, the first vacation that I had that really made me see nature for its beauty was when I traveled to Banff, Alberta with my family. The most striking feature of Banff is the towering, snow-capped Canadian Rockies that dominate the skyline. Furthermore, the abundant wildlife, cascading waterfalls, starry skies and the pristine wilderness of Banff was truly a sight for sore eyes. Although the site of Banff itself was absolutely gorgeous, it wasn’t until our family used the ‘GyPSy’ app throughout our car trips to various locations within Alberta that I was able to appreciate nature for what it was. This app actively tracked the location of where we were and gave professional tour guide commentary depending on the sites we were currently at. The app also provided interesting and entertaining stories, local tips and driving directions along with the narration, it was as if we had a virtual tour guide right in our car! Moreover, the app provided me the ability to interpret the nature that surrounded us and expand my awareness of the outdoors. To sum up, this trip is truly what made me fall in love with the outdoors and appreciate how beautiful nature is within every environment. I currently try to be outside whenever I can as it genuinely elevates my day in so many ways and makes me feel grounded within nature.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog!

Unit 01: My Current Relationship with Nature

I have a very strong relationship with nature and without sounding too cheesy, this relationship has shaped me into the person I am today. This relationship began at a very young age; in fact, my earliest memories are those where I was outside with nature. For example, every evening after dinner I remember my dad and I walking down our street to a park where I would make "pies" in his hands using rocks and dirt and whatever else I could find outside. As well, my parents were both "outdoorsy" people at the time and family camping trips were something my entire family looked forward to on long weekends and during the summer. I explored several Ontario Parks as a child, but of course, family camping trips got harder to manage once my sister and I grew older.

By the time I was in high school I was very knowledgable about camping and activities like swimming, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, etc. This led me to choosing an outdoor education elective in grade 11 and 12 where I was able to participate in some of my first backcountry camping trips in Killarney Provincial Park. Additionally, I was presented with the opportunity to road trip to Alberta with my sister after she accepted a job in Calgary. On our way, we stopped at new parks, and it was the first time I got to explore western Canada. Since then, I usually make it to Calgary a few times a year to explore in the mountains.

By the time I was finishing high school I was in love with nature and camping; thus, I applied to countless jobs in Ontario Parks. I ended up accepting a job at The Portage Store in Algonquin Provincial Park. I had an amazing summer living on Canoe Lake and making amazing friends who loved nature as much as I do and gaining so much more outdoor experience. The following Fall I started school in the environmental science co-op program and spent much of the winter daydreaming about going back to Algonquin Park.

Fast forward to when the pandemic hit, and all schooling went online. I decided to book a one-way ticket to Calgary and live with my sister for a semester, which was an amazing decision. I got to see so many new places and gain an appreciation for the Canadian Rocky's. As well, I continued to work in Algonquin throughout the Fall while school was still online.

Fast forward a few more years and I am in my final semester of university, having dropped co-op so that I could continue to spend my summers and springs living in Algonquin Park. To answer a question you may have, yes, dropping co-op was a bold decision but Algonquin Park truly became my "sense of place". A "sense of place" as described by Interpreting Cultural and Natural Heritage for a Better World, refers to a location that offers a deep personal connection and for me this is Algonquin Park, and more specifically Canoe Lake (Beck et al., 2018).
