In the last few days, the outdoor recreation community—skiers, hunters, hikers, paddlers, climbers, everyone who loves the outdoors—have come together to send nearly 400,000 letters to lawmakers with a clear message: Our public lands are not for sale!

Tell the Senate NO to Public Land Sell Offs
TAKE ACTION! The Senate wants to sell off 3.3 million acres of public land. That’s 4x the size of Rhode Island. The outdoor community stopped land sales before. We need your voice again.

A little gardening, a little beach-y coast time, a little thrifting. All the makings of a good weekend in some sleepy oceanside towns.

Third stop of the weekend: VanDusen Botanical Garden. I was BLOWN AWAY!! We spent over 3 hours here and did not even see the entire grounds. Absolutely making a return trip soon. Incredible gardens in such a lovely space that doesn’t feel at all like it’s in the middle of a city. WOW WOW WOW! 🤩🌲🌿🌷🌾🌸
A small hillside covered in heathers of various pinks and whites with various conifers throughout the space.A lovely and sunny walkway underneath redwoods with bamboo below them.A pond with rocks along the edge and various conifers.A cypress swamp. The knuckle-like bumps are actually cypress roots growing up and out of the soil to get oxygen. Pretty neat!
