ThINC ~ Three Community Nature Events

The Thetis Island Nature Conservancy invites you to attend three community events about bees, eelgrass and owls offered during our Nature Day Camp next week.

Monday, July 6 at 7 p.m. at Forbes Hall. Come and hear biologist Ted Leischner from Plan Bee Now (www.planbeenow.ca) talk about native bees and pollinators and what we can all do to protect them and our food security. 

Wed. July 8 from 8:30a.m. to noon. Meet at Pilkey Pt with your own canoe or kayak.

Come and join our campers as we paddle Cufra Inlet with eelgrass specialist Nikki Wright from Seachange Conservation Society (seachangesociety.com) to learn about the ecological importance of eelgrass beds. Bring your own personal powered watercraft (canoe or kayak), paddles and lifejackets, and a lunch for a picnic on Pilkey Pt following the paddle. Did you know Thetis Island has some of the richest eelgrass beds in the Gulf Islands?

Friday, July 10 at 7 pm at Forbes Hall.  Biologist Tania Tripp will fascinate us all with a slide show and talk about native owls. After the talk Tania will take us on a dusk walk in the woods to try and call in owls. Bring a flashlight for the return journey. 

We're excited about the camp and the opportunity to share these three great resource people with the community. We hope to see you there.
