We’ve always had a love for the Fraser Valley’s ericaceous plants. From Salal, cranberries, blueberries to the beautiful Arbutus menzeisii. ... Of all the types of mycorrhizal fungi in our soils, there is one that’s found a partnership in this species of plants. Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi carry a symbiotic relationship exclusive to this family of plants. These mycorrhizal fungi are important in aiding both wild and farmed blueberries draw macro and (N, K) and micro (S, and Cu) nutrients from acidic and low-quality soils, such as of the bog in B.C. Delta, while the plant generously shares its sweet photosynthesized sugars to its host fungi. The Ericaceae are a family of flowering plants that more often than not, bear beautiful and delicious fruit. Many wild species existed in the Fraser Valley long before it was settled and farming industrialized, and many First Nations (including Musqueam, Tsawwassen, and Semiahmoo) deftly used the bog environment of Delta and some coastal areas of Surrey B.C. by regulating the burning of land patches in the bog to clear space and promote the growth of different berry species, such as wild blueberry and cranberry species that became dominant without competition. Ericoid mycorrhizae have been in these soils relying on their hosts as much as their hosts relied on them, surviving and thriving for eons. And, the human cultures that depended on them too, for longer than you and I could imagine. @ Delta, British Columbia

We were quiet for the last few days to do the research and the uncomfortable introspection to redefine our allyship. We're breaking our guilty silence and have put together a set of anti-racist actions for ourselves & our followers. #vancouver #yvr #blacklivesmatter @ Vancouver, British Columbia
