“From Bedrock to Biodiversity –– How Geology Shapes Ecosystem Health and Wildlife Habitat in Pender Harbour”: the Pender Harbour and District Wildlife Society welcomes Ray Kostaschuk, geoscientist and adjunct professor in the School of Environmental Science at Simon Fraser University, for a fascinating look at how geology shapes our landscapes, waterways and wildlife. Pender Harbour lies within the Coast Plutonic Complex; a massive granitic formation created over 140 million years through tectonic collisions and terrane accretion. Glaciation later carved fjords, valleys and wetlands, leaving soils and landforms that underpin today’s ecosystems. Bedrock chemistry and glacial deposits determine soil fertility, influencing plant communities and the animals they sustain — from dense conifer forests to elk-grazed valley meadows. Fractured rock channels salmon streams, feeding bears, eagles and even forests with marine nutrients. Landslides and floods open berry-rich clearings, while wetlands shelter amphibians and waterfowl. Geology isn’t just the stage — it’s the foundation of life in Pender Harbour. 7 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 16, Pender Harbour Secondary School. Coffee, treats, and raffle to follow.
