Watch for our Spring 2008 issue!
As the editor of a quarterly magazine with long production lead times, I often have my head in the next season while my body lags behind in the current one. This week, as British Columbians are kicking up powder on downhill slopes and mushing huskies on northern dog-sledding adventures, I’m sending our Spring 2008 issue off to press.
Throughout the chilly winter months, the editorial staff here have been preparing the articles that will bring our readers the bright optimism of spring in B.C. The issue is a diverse mix of travel, science, parks, and wildlife content, including:
* A deluxe safari adventure in Clayoquot Sound.
* The comical dances of Columbian sharp-tailed grouse.
* Stunning photography of a proposed new national park.
* The mysterious workings of the soil in supporting all life in this province.
Our cover story profiles the remarkable Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary, the only park of its kind in Canada created specifically to protect these remarkable large predators. Check back soon to our magazine’s website (www.bcmag.ca) to view the Photo Gallery, where we’ll be posting more than a dozen spectacular grizzly bear images.
