Fairyslipper Forest Update

Only 4 more days to meet our June 30 deadline to raise the $40,000 in matching funds for Fairyslipper Forest. Through the generosity of islanders and others we've already raised $26,000, and we still need to raise $14,000 by June 30.  This will get us to the halfway mark in our campaign, an exciting milestone for all of us. A huge thank you to all of you who have already supported this community initiative!

One lovely boost to the campaign has come from Margaret Hantiuk, a Victoria artist and long time visitor to Thetis who has donated two of her Thetis Island- inspired watercolors to help with the purchase of Fairyslipper Forest. Both were painted while she was camping at Hunter's campground. We are selling them for her suggested price of $275 each. Both of these beautiful paintings can be viewed on the home page of our website www.thetisislandnatureconservancy.org. They will also be on display at Forbes Hall the week of Ocean LearnFest July 4-8 during the four free evening sessions (Mon-Thurs) starting at 7:30 p.m.. Thank you, Margaret!
