Dear Friends of Shelly Creek Park:
We all enjoy our neighbourhood park year-round. It's wonderful to get out in nature and relax for a while. Here are some items you may have missed:
L to R: April 2025 Western trillium (Trillium ovatum)
The flowers turn pink to purple with age;
June 2025 The aptly named Dog vomit slime mould (Fuligo septica).The cells move like an amoeba searching for nutrients.
The sky is reflected in the pond. In the centre of the picture, see a small
Signal crayfish (Pacifasticus leniusculus). A feast for the Barred owl.
Turkey tail fungus (Trametes versicolor). Some people think it boosts the immune system.
Many thanks to all the people who helped maintain and improve Shelly Creek Park in the past year: City of Parksville Parks employees and volunteers from the Friends of Shelly Creek Park.
All best wishes for 2026.
Sue Wilson
