Writer & Researcher

Hello & Welcome!

My name is Jenna. I’m a writer, researcher, and photographer based in Ottawa, Ontario.

I started this blog to write about my outdoor adventures, wildlife, and issues in conservation. My hope is that it inspires you to get outside and create your own adventures.

A shot from Fundy National Park. This one taken at Dickson Falls Trail. It’s a short loop, mostly boardwalks, leading to a waterfall.

I’ve been helping others manage their social media, so its taken me away from my own and my blog. I find myself needing more time away from screens. I’m sure many of you can relate!

I have a backlog of adventure photos, most that will probably never make it on here. But, I still love sharing adventures and seeing all the cool things all of you are doing!

I already miss seeing these little guys buzzing around my garden. 🐝

If you have a favourite local pollinator plant, let me know! I’m looking to plant a native flower garden this spring. I’d love to hear about what grows around you.

It’s becoming a tradition to visit Langdale Fall

It’s becoming a tradition to visit Langdale Falls each time we return to the Sunshine Coast. It’s a quick hike through a cedar and hemlock forest to this stunning 40-foot waterfall.

The beautiful Pacific! 🌊 I just returned from

The beautiful Pacific! 🌊

I just returned from a trip to visit family on the West Coast! It’s been far too long. We spent our time eating delicious food, hiking in the temperate rainforest, watching movies, and visiting beaches along the Sunshine Coast.

I’m always amazed by how beautiful British Columbia is with it’s towering cedars, snow-capped mountains, and lush rainforest.

It’s sad to know so much of the old growth forests are being destroyed - especially in this time of worsening climate change.

In Eastern Canada, less than 1 percent of old growth remains. The forests are a shadow of their former selves. Cut, sprayed, and destroyed.

Cheers to everyone who is fighting for change on both coasts.

In late September, myself, my fiancé, and our dog

In late September, myself, my fiancé, and our dog went backcountry camping at Tracey Lake in Fundy National Park.

Tracey Lake gives you the privacy and tranquility of the backcountry without a strenuous haul to your campsite.

The mix of forest and wetland make it a popular stopping place for Moose. The only Moose we saw is that little guy standing next to me. 🐕

The mossy forest floor, starry night sky and misty lake mornings made for an excellent trip, despite me tweaking my back before we left the parking lot. 😂

That was probably the worst “injury” I’ve had on trail and I’m thankful for that. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

What’s your worse trail injury?

I’ve been visiting some amazing places in New Br

I’ve been visiting some amazing places in New Brunswick, but that doesn’t stop me from missing my old stomping grounds.

I miss my daily walks in Ottawa’s Greenbelt, canoe camping at Lac la Pêche, bass fishing at Murphy’s Point, and autumn hikes in Gatineau Park.

If you’re in the Ottawa area, take advantage of these last days of beautiful colours. I recommend Jack Pine Trail, Pink Lake, King Mountain, and Mer Bleue.

Do you have a place you’re missing?

This photo was taken on a Thanksgiving canoe camping trip at Lac la Pêche. I got up early in the morning for a solo paddle and my fiancé, Sam, snapped this photo of me coming back.
