On Wednesday, September 12, Landscapes in Motion hosted its first-ever field tour. Researchers mingled with individuals who live, work, and recreate in the study area; people who want to know more about these landscapes and what we can learn from them. By coming together partway through the project, our team hopes that this tour marks the beginning of healthy conversations about the past and future of this landscape.
It was a chilly morning, but everyone had come prepared for the weather. Our group of 30 had a range of backgrounds and interests, but as we boarded the warm bus in Black Diamond, we were united by a shared excitement for the day to come. From the beginning, Landscapes in Motion had planned to take people into the field; today, we were fulfilling that goal by heading to Sheep River Provincial Park to explore the science and history of these important landscapes.
