ThINC Nature House - Weekend Events

Saturday, August 19

2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Seaquarium Drop-in
Location: The Nature House at The Portal, 254 North Cove Road

The saga continues in the seaquarium this week, and it’s your last chance to see the drama unfold! We’ll be releasing the species next week, so come by this Saturday to check on our very hungry and growing heart crab, the neon nudibranchs, and (my favourite!) the elusive green gunnels.

10:00 am start
Healing Plant Connections With Marcia & Ian (all ages)
Location: The People’s Apothecary Garden, Lot 62

Immerse yourself in the tranquil embrace of nature as we explore the profound relationship between humans and plants at the Peoples Apothecary Garden, delving into the spiritual and holistic dimensions that bind us. Marcia and Ian have created a deck of cards with mediations & visualizations that correspond to different plants & animals on Thetis Island which they have created a workshop based on.
For those who are not able to attend the event and are interested in exploring these cards, a deck can now be found at the Thetis Island library!
2:00 pm start
S4: Cultural Ecology Talk and Indigenous Plant Walk (all ages)
Location: Telegraph Marina

Join us for a special walk and talk with Ken Thomas and Elder Augie Sylvester from the Penelakut Tribe to explore the cultural history of what is now called Thetis Island. Guided by Augie, we will also meander to The Cut and learn about the abundance of medicinal and other culturally important plants that grow on the island.

This event is hosted by the Nature House and Nature Stewards Program with funding from the Island Trust Conservancy.
Howling Wolf Market - As always, we will be under our blue tent at the market this Saturday from 10 - 2pm. We will be taking t-shirt orders until August 25th!
