Simple Nature Education in the Comox Valley
This is the nature tour company meant for regular people - no special gear needed, and no previous experience or training required.
Our approach
We'll explore spots known and loved by locals while taking the time to get curious about the flora and fauna around us.
In The Valley aims to get those who are living in or visiting the Comox Valley into nature in an accessible way, provide accurate plant ID for common local species of trees and shrubs, and send participants on their way with thoughtfully-created take-home resources to refer back to.
Nature is proven to heal us inside and out
We as a species almost unknowingly seek out beautiful things, like flower gardens or beams of sunlight; can we harness this desire for awe in our environments by learning what we're looking at, and being able to notice and appreciate it more next time?
Pre-planned and custom guided nature walks
Choose from any of our preset walks, or contact us if you have a different location, day, or time in mind. We’ll do our best to accommodate you and get you out on a trail!
Meet your guide
I'm a local Naturalist hoping to share my love of native plants, ecosystems, and the animals that inhabit them. My journey began five years ago when I met my now-husband, Robert, who was trained in Biology and shared his love of plants with me.
My life has been changed for the better by learning about the forests that are part of the Comox Valley, and I hope that by joining one of my nature walks to nearby trails, your life can be changed too. It's much easier to slow down and appreciate what's around you when you know what you're looking at.
See you on the trails,
Erin
