Houston Trail in Derby Reach Regional Park, Nature Beyond Names. Leader: Phil Henderson
Time: 9:00 am in the Houston Trail parking lot on McKinnon Crescent, Langley
We humans spend a lot of time naming things, then changing those names until we are happy, at least some of us, if only temporarily. Naming and labeling are necessary for us to keep track and sort things out. On this walk, we won’t abandon names and categories (raven, bird; fern, plant) but we will try to view nature as a whole, then possibly deconstruct, bringing names into the picture to help us understand and make sense of things. The process of figuring things, such as how organisms fit into their environment and interact with one another, may be more important than figuring things out, because chances are we won’t; what we think we’ve figured out may be entirely speculative and quite possibly, wrong.
Bring your eyes, ears, nostrils, and ideas, however wild and speculative, to the meeting place, rain or shine.
