Artist and designer Petra Hekkenberg kept this illustrated journal while working as a hut keeper and park ambassador at Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park in 2021. Over three seasons she spent time each day drawing in this alpine environment and writing down her observations and thoughts. These authentic journal pages invite readers to step into the experiences of a nature-loving new resident of Canada, and into the Park itself.
This journal is a tribute to Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park and the people who have worked hard to protect it for more than 100 years. It is hoped that this book will inspire others to be outside: to visualize, love, protect, and take in the beauty we are so fortunate to have in the Kootenays.
