Wednesday Wander at Fairyslipper Forest (all ages)
Start your morning listening to the beautiful bird songs, identifying and learning about plant species in Fairyslipper Forest! We will use eBird and iNaturalist to grow the citizen science data of species on Thetis! Meet at the Fairyslipper parking lot at 9:00 am!

2:00 pm start: Stinging Nettle Deliciousness at Jollity Farm (all ages)

Albeit unpleasant if stung, stinging nettles are rich in antioxidants and are delicious when cooked! For this week's food security workshop, Linnea will be sharing the incredible benefits of stinging nettles. She will explain how to identify the species and offer tips and techniques on how and when to harvest them. Participants will be introduced to stinging nettle cordage and will also take home a tasty nettle treat!
