Nature House Events this Weekend
Friday, August 16, 2024 at 7:53AM A reminder that we have two events scheduled for this weekend:
Saturday, Aug 17 - Garden Gnome Treasure Hunt at the PAG (10 am start)
On your way to Family Fun Day, drop by the Peoples Apothecary Garden (62 North Cove Rd) for a treasure hunt through the PAG and for some tasty herbal delights! For those who are not familiar with the PAG, it is just a short, 2-min walk from Forbes Hall.
Note: Today's event will be now starting at 10am (vs 11am as previously stated).
Sunday, August 18 - 'Voices for the Islands' Book Launch at Forbes Hall (2pm start)
Author Sheila Harrington will be presenting her book 'Voices for the Islands: Thirty Years of Nature Conservation in the Salish Sea'.
"Voices for the Islands brings together the stories and experiences of those who rose to protect areas at risk within their island communities. Narratively linked by author Sheila Harrington’s three-year sailing journey among the islands to interview more than fifty veteran conservationists, the book shares an in-depth view of local protests and the history and evolution of local conservancies from their timely emergence through legal battles and successful partnerships. It highlights how local, provincial, and national support was won, through the collaborative efforts of dedicated locals, resulting in hundreds of new protected areas and parks within one of the most at-risk ecological communities in Canada—the islands of the Salish Sea."

Books will be for sale! And refreshments will be served! More about this special, place-based book:
