"Love food, hate waste" is our theme for this month's Small Steps for Big Moves climate action campaign 💚🍩🥗🌍

Take advantage of abundant summer markets to eat local and seasonal foods. Buying food produced close to home means less transportation-related emissions and eating in-season helps prioritize foods growing under natural seasonal conditions.

Check out these Sea-to-Sky markets:
🍓 Whistler Farmers' Market: 11am-4pm on Sundays from May to October 10
🌽 Pemberton Farmers' Market: 3pm-6:30pm on Fridays from June through October
🥕 Squamish Farmers' Market: 10am-3pm on Saturdays from April through October

Did you know there are over 4,000 species that can be found in Whistler?

The Nature Photo category: It’s The Little Things
was chosen to be a great reminder to slow down and observe all that’s around you.

While many of our favourite species are easily visible, there is a whole ecosystem hard at work.
Hundreds of thousands of species all work together to feed, process waste, circulate water and reproduce.
Every living thing has its purpose in the process!

Swipe across to see the chart of species in Whistler that was documented by @whistlernaturalists

All these different species add so much value to our ecosystem and need protection.

Let's bring more awareness to all that surrounds us. What will you inspire?

Did you know we have beautiful, majestic Old Growt

Did you know we have beautiful, majestic Old Growth right here in the Sea to Sky?

Cameras Under The Canopy category of the Nature Photo Contest is an invitation to get out there and discover some for yourself!

Old growth forests are diverse ecosystems with a fundamental role in ecological processes.

In fact, these irreplaceable forests are:

- Crucial for BC’s biodiversity
- Potent carbon sinks
- Essential for environmental
regulation and temperature
control
- Able to reduce large-scale
wildfires
- More economically valuable
when intact

So go out and find some old growth, and show off your favourite image.

Make sure to tag @awarewhistler and use the hashtag #weareaware

This category is all about how we are part of the environment. In caring for it, we care for ourselves, each other, and make the world a better place.

You can demonstrate your care through documenting the process of taking an extra step to reduce your impact, or simply appreciating beauty and uniqueness.

Part of caring for places and species is also protecting their anonymity. We want to love these places but keep them as naturally untouched as possible, so please remember in all categories not to geotag or share locations!
