Seek the Peak: Kylie's story Learn why this second-time Seek the Peak runner takes on the challenge When we moved to Vancouver last year, we lived on Nancy Greene Way and were Grouse Mountain passholders, so I first heard of Seek the Peak from emails I'd receive and posters I'd see on the mountain.

Bears Begin Bear Bed Building Last week, as temperatures dropped and days continue to get shorter, Grinder and Coola began to build their bed for winter 2015.  We provided them with a large mound of Pacific Silver-Fir branches inside their bear 'hotel' and after ignoring them for quite a few days, the boys decided it was time to build a bed.Based on past years and experiments in offering them

Grouse Mountain Bees Migrate to Langley for the Winter Last week we moved our 15 bee hives from the top of the mountain out to a lovely farm site in Langley.  Our bees will spend the winter months here where it is warmer and where food will be available earlier in the spring.Once conditions on Grouse become favorable (and all of our massive amounts of snow from this winter melt!) the bees will
