Jamie Jacobs (she/her) grew up as a settler on the unceded territories of the Musqueam and Squamish Nations, but has lived on Esquimalt and Songhees territory since 2019.

Jamie has worked in out-of-school care programs since moving to the island, and has seen first hand how impactful time in nature can be on a child’s mood and sense of self. With a focus on permaculture, Jamie completed a BSc in Geography and Environmental Studies. Through this and other forms of education, Jamie has learned about her place in nature and how essential it is to individual and collective health and happiness to care for the world we are living in. Jamie enjoys spreading and sharing the joys of gardening and tending to land with those in her life. With a passion for learning about the plants that surround us, Jamie can often be found in the forest with her plant ID book flipped open or snapping pictures for iNaturalist.

In her spare time, Jamie enjoys hiking, sewing, and growing plants!
