Beltane or Beltaine is the Gaelic May Day festival. Most commonly it is held on May 1, or about halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. Historically, it was widely observed throughout Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man. In Irish the name for the festival day is Lá Bealtaine, in Scottish Gaelic Là Bealltainn, and in Manx Gaelic Laa Boaltinn/Boaldyn. It is one of the four Gaelic seasonal festivals—along with Samhain, Imbolc and Lughnasadh – and is similar to the Welsh Calan Mai.

  • Jericho Park Baseline Inventory Report
    Jeri Part 1: Jericho Park Baseline Inventory Report University of British Columbia Masters of Sustainable Forest Management Joanna deMontreuil and Leah Ballin Executive Summary This report is the first of a two part report prepared for the Vancouver Parks Board in partnership with the Department of Forestry at the University of British Columbia. The premises behind the project were to design a baseline inventory methodology for forested parks in Vancouver, and to implement this methodology at one of these parks. Jericho Beach Park was chosen for its proximity to the University, its size, the high potential for restoration and habitat enhancement, and the high level of public investment in the park. Management recommendations based on the findings of this baseline inventory are made in Part 2. Phases of the project included study design, field data collection, data compilation and analysis, limited stakeholder consultation, and formulation of management recommendations. Field data was primarily collected through September and October 2012, and was supported by several site visits made through the winter and into April 2013. The results of the baseline inventory indicate that the vegetation at Jericho Park is largely dominated by non-native species trees and shrubs and aging red alder. Jericho Park has undergone several waves of land disturbance over the past 150 years, resulting in young stands that in some ways are fairly unnatural in composition. The forest at Jericho Park is transitioning from early successional stands dominated by shade intolerant native broadleaf species, to stands of shade tolerant hardwoods dominated by introduced sycamore maple, with smatterings of other exotic species such as horse chestnut and walnut.

    Escape into Nature: the Ideology of Pacific Spirit Regional Park by Marina J. La Salle M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2008 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Anthropology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2014 © Marina La Salle, 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates the ideology of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, an urban forest adjacent to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Using the tools of archaeology and anthropology, I analyse the history, landscape, performance, and discourse of the park to understand Pacific Spirit as a culturally-constructed place that embodies an ideology of imperialism. Central in this dynamic is the carefully crafted illusion of Pacific Spirit as a site of “nature,” placed in opposition to “culture,” which naturalizes the values that created and are communicated through the park and thereby neutralizes their politics. They remain, however, very political. The park as nature erases the history and heritage of the Indigenous peoples of this region, transforming Pacific Spirit into a new terra nullius—a site to be discovered and explored, militaristic themes that consistently underlie park programs and propaganda. These cultural tropes connect to produce a nationalistic settler narrative wherein class ideals of nature and community are evoked in the celebration of Canada’s history of colonialism and capitalist expansion—paradoxically, the very processes that have caused the fragmentation of communities and ecosystems. The park as nature also feeds into the portrayal of this space as having been saved from development and, as such, an environmental triumph.
