Archaeology project begins in Northeastern British Columbia
Northeastern BC starts its first major archaeological dig since Charlie Lake Cave, led by Keary Walde at a Gutah gas field site 176 km north of Fort St. John. The study pairs ancient history with 10 000 to 12 000 years of environmental change, using lake bottom pollen to trace vegetation shifts. The Royal BC Museum backs the project with Science & Community Environmental Fund support, part of the Living Landscapes initiative.

Critters and beasties of Moberly Lake
A nature note from June at Moberly Lake describes July woodland bird activity with cowbird parasitism affecting foster parents, a grounded grosbeak chick, and a trio of loons reacting to a mysterious large circular object on the south shore. Local theories suggest wind or a sailboat wake, though no consensus.
