@@kristina_lynnI hope you can come back some day!! I’m 19 fresh out of Highschool I never thought I would live past my senior year, here I am a year later and I don’t know what I want to exactly do with my life but I know it’s going to be something with plants and animals and just the ecosystem in general. You’re videos have been a serious help and your One of the only environmental UA-camrs that are personable and not too all jump cutty slideshow bs
Hey Kristina, If you see this I hope you're going well, I just found your channel and have been using it to guide my thoughts for environmental science. I see you've not posted for a year so I hope things are okay.
on the weekends in early spring, i weed by the trail in Belair National Park - to give the little native flowers some breathing space. Have been doing this for twenty years. Only now i notice people stop to talk to me and are very interested in what i am doing. There is a thirst for knowledge, glad i am still here to provide some. We oldies are getting older every year...
Big developments are taking over my area, cutting everything to the ground.I just go and take as many seeds in the fall,and cuttings in the spring.glad to see I'm not the only one.This is the first time I've heard of anyone else doing it🌱💛🌱
Yes! Every Spring I harvest Nettle but in the last few years all 3 of 'my' sites have been decimated by construction. I replanted some Nettle outside a hiking trail🇨🇦Sooke, B.C
It’s so bad in some of those new development sites around sooke. It’s wild they just bulldoze everything to the ground instead of work around native habitat, and ironically then replant grass and non native landscaping plants 🫠
Finding one of these salvage areas would be perfect for me. I find tons of native plants that I wanna grow, but I can't just take everything I find. Well, my search begins
Hello Kristina Lynn hope you are doing amazing! I found your channel trying to get some ideas for an environmental Science talk that I will be holding for a school hoping to inspire a new generation of students and expose the truths of work. I am extremely happy to have found your channel and have looked at a number of your videos and am very impressed by your journey. Is there at all a possibility that we could talk a bit more over mail or over a call sometime, I look up to you as a potential career path and every bit of guidance would be much appreciated as I will soon finish my bachelor and will hopefully move into the working world. Kind Regards Batian :)
Oooh Camas are a really nice find! They would even grow where I am. I'm super jealous! I hear they are kind of like sweet chestnuts when roasted, and they are very nutritious!
thanks for posting this, great to see this type of salvage happening. Its at least a bit of counterweight to overdevelopment which seems to be swallowing up precious plant ecoysystems in many places.
The volunteer organization I worked with phrased it as an "option of last resort" - salvage is our last thing we can do good for that land once we have failed to save it from development. While I am excited to give the plants a new home, I had to stop and bear witness to the end of that ecosystems existence and feel that gravity too
I get really sad about development areas… I wish they built around instead of destroying everything but I guess that’s what the people want. Makes me sad. I would just enjoy the area for what it is.
I have watched your channel since back in the day, as I had aspirations to become a biologist. I have an intense desire to work in the field of ecological restoration. I am so happy to see you adding permaculture to your channel, and even more happy, to see you discussing the benefits of native plants. I haven't finished my journey into biology, and in the meantime, I started a food forest of my own, since nobody in my area does this. Since I take the "perma" part of "permaculture" very seriously, the native edible and beneficial plants of my area, have become integral to my forest strategy. It is like ecological restoration light😄.
Whenever I look up ecosysten restoration, the websites I find talk about it as if it's one whole job. But from what I've seen, thats not the case. Plant nursery workers grow indiginous plants that will be planted later. Researchers gather data to figure out what needs to be changed and how. Managers that keep it all together. Then there are the people that put in the physical wotk to get these things done. People who terriform, people who remove invasives, people who plant, people who reintroduce wildlife back into the area. Am I overthinking things? Aren't these multiple jobs under ecosystem restoration? I find it so hard to find information on the individual aspects of ecosystem restoration. Do you have to have an environmental degree for every single one of these jobs??
I dunno how I came across your scariest moment in the woods video. This comment is related to that video because of the comments being turned off, but you should REALLY LOOK INTO CANAM Missing 411 with David Paulides. It was by the grace of God you and and your friend didn't end up murdered. Somebody is praying over you and your friend, because Satan was right at your door. Yikes I've had similar assignments canceled. Anywho, check him out, might have you to be wiser when it comes to camping in the woods. God bless you.
Safety: What I do is don a very deep voice, the deepest my female voice is capable of, which is very low alto to a tenor, and say, "Excuse me, but you do not belong here. You will leave now." I am firm, loud, and will be heard. This makes him think that I am a male and not to be reckon with.
i would really like to talk to you about your career path and work experiences! i’m currently thinking of doing environmental science but the field is so broad i don’t even know what it means :(
Hello Kristina! Love you videos! I have a question for you, do you know anything about Environmental Health Management? I'm a university student and I've decided to change my major because I'm not happy with my current major. I'm considering Environmental Health Management but I still don't know much about it. Thank you!
I’m not really sure what that means, do you have a class list? Is that like ecotoxicology? Is it focused on the health of the environment or the health of the environment of humans
Camas themselves as a single species aren't listed as endangered, but camas meadows are one of the most threatened ecosystems in Canada since they're endemic and most have been developed already :( There is not many Garry Oak / camas meadows left sadly. They are incredibly unique and filled with so much history
Hallo mam i am from India I want to become a wild life biologist. But mam i could not find any source to become a biologist . Please help me on this topic. Please reply me 💝🌸
Hi I have a really important question to me is that I really wanted a career that would gave a opportunity to make search in animal wildlife And in someway be near the animals I always thought of a wildlife biologist but now I'm kinda confused
I do something similar. I also live on Vancouver island. When I see signs go up about a house being demolished, I ask if I can come dig up some plants haha!
I started doing this and love it, learning the medicinals here in Washington like purple dead nettle. I found that to help prevent shock, I take wet rags or paper towels to wrap the roots, then at home, water the hole well before planting. 🙏✌️
Thats a good idea, I think I will do this next time. The first time I didn't do anything at all to the roots during transport, this time I tried potting them up on site but found the pots were too difficult to move around so I got less plants. a wet rag would be perfect
Hi~ I’m a animal lover and I want to study zoology in the university. Unfortunately I’m not a well English speaker. Is it tough for me to study zoology and remember it’s specifics vocabulary? Thx a lot, and also, I’m not studying biology in my a level because of some reason.🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
Kristina -- That video you made where you describe your most scary hiking experience. Take an ice axe / hammer / tomahawk with you. At 05-00 h, it would be aimed right at Jack's head with tremendous force. It's kill or be killed. Never camp right on the edge of a track. Move in say 100 m off the track. Place a trip-cord about 6 feet clear around each tent attached to a bell for early warning. Have a piece of string tied loosely around a finger so you can alert your partner silently at night using a pre-determined code. Sorry to comment here, but comments were turned off under the video I mentioned earlier.
Hi this is john from India, currently I am doing my undergraduate degree in agriculture at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. My ambition is to become a wildlife biologst.so after completing my ug , in which course can i do my major? In India we are having Wildlife Institute of India in which master degree for wildlife biology but only 50 seats are there per year. It is difficult to enter there , so can you suggest any other majors for me.
Hi, I want to be an environmental scientist or wildlife biologist but I was wondering how much math is involved on the job? I’m not good at math, I just want to help anything to do with nature, math really isn’t for me unless it’s simple calculations I could learn but anything advanced I probably get really frustrated with.
Hey I was hoping to get some insight on what degree to go for to be a wildlife biologist. I don’t know if I should go for conservation biology or wildlife, fisheries, and aquaculture science?
Just watched your video about the guy walking up on tent, the knife he can take away from you and use it on you. Get yourself a High pressure Can of bear mase or better a gun, you don't seem to be a felon so get yourself a nice 9mm or .45 👌
Hi i just wanna ask if there is a age limit to being biologist? i wanna study college again so it might take a couple of yrs till i became one. Right now im 24 yrs old
No, as long as you can meet the basic physical requirements! A biologist in their mid to late 20s is extremely common, you wouldn't stand out at all I think. I'm 30 now and I still am one of the youngest biologists in my team
@@kristina_lynn California has so many native plants D: Also, how far back in history do you consider a plant to be native? Very interesting question in an environmental class. Like how far back in history should you go to look for reference plants for a restoration project? Maybe pre-European colonial era?
@@social3ngin33rin Long enough that insects and wildlife have evolved to rely on that plant for their host plant and/or their survival. which is definitely pre-colonial.
Retconning history as if “indigenous” people (people who arrived before Europeans) were cultivating and intentionally growing anything. When in reality they just gathered and harvested what they found in the wild. They had no conception of how to grow crops, till, sew seeds, water, etc..
please don't stop making videos. please please please this channel feels like home and it's just so comfortable
Aw thank you! I'm slowing down for sure but I'm not stepping away completely I think

Pah, we're but babes. I love that you've been tending the trail, I'll bet it is far more lovely than it would have been.

It's becoming more popular of a concept I think as the public becomes more aware of the importance of native plants, pollinators..

Pretty cool. I’m going to call my municipality to find out if there are area where I can do this. Thank you for the great info.
Good luck!
Hi!! I just found out your channel through your book recommendations videos. I love those (and all your videos)!
Thank you! I need to make more book videos :)
You might also wanna take multiple plants from different areas of the site to get multiple genetics.

Are the Camas Meadows an endangered species? I am so glad you are able to rescue some of these beautiful plants. 💕

I do something similar. I also live on Vancouver island. When I see signs go up about a house being demolished, I ask if I can come dig up some plants haha!
Hi! Can you go from a BS in molecular biology and genetics to a MS in wildlife biology?
If possible,is it difficult?
Ik its been 1 year but i have a question can you take photos being a wildlife biologist?
How do we find out about rescuing native plants? I live in Vancouver and I have never heard of this.
nice to rescue them before they go
I started doing this and love it, learning the medicinals here in Washington like purple dead nettle.

May you turn on your comments on your scariest wilderness video please?
Most of my comments were overwhelmingly negative and calling me derogatory names sadly so I turned them off
