Huge kudos to all those who have pledged to support the Burchell Hill Nature Reserve Matching Funds Campaign. Thanks to you, we're getting close to our $50,000 goal by June 1, but we still have  $16,800 to go. Time is running out. Meet the challenge from the anonymous donor who will match your pledge dollar for dollar. Make a pledge today by emailing us at ThINC@thetisisland.net, by contacting Ann at 250-246-8176 or by downloading a pledge form from www.thetisislandnatureconservancy.org.

Thank you from the Thetis Island Nature Conservancy 

New Name for Proposed Nature Reserve 

Brilliant pink Fairyslipper orchids (Calypso bulbosa) have been blooming in profusion along the trails on Burchell Hill this spring. In their honor, ThINC has incorporated them into the name for the proposed Nature Reserve. Watch for references to the proposed 'Fairyslipper Forest Nature Reserve on Burchell Hill.' And take a walk to see them before they are gone. No picking please, these orchids are delicate.
