Seaquarium Drop-in: Sea Critter Release!
Location: The Nature House at The Portal, 254 North Cove Road / The Government Dock

Parting is such sweet sorrow, but the endearing and charismatic critters in the Seaquarium need to return to their sea homes today. We’ll be carefully releasing all the fish, sea stars, crabs, and other creatures, and you are invited to the farewell party! We will begin by releasing some of the shallower water dwellers at the beach at the Portal, and then around 3:00pm we will go to the community dock to release the creatures who need cooler, deeper waters.

10:00 am - 12:00 pm drop-in
Harvest Hours at The PAG (all ages)
Location: The People’s Apothecary Garden, Lot 62

Today is the last scheduled ‘open hours’ at the PAG. The garden is beginning to wind down for the season - but there are still lots to be harvested! The plantains (ribwort and broadleaf) are going to seed and are great (and healthy!) addition to breads, soups, and smoothies!
This Saturday at Howling Wolf Market will also be the last opportunity of the summer to pick up one of our fancy ThINC shirts, so if you’ve been ThINCing of grabbing one, now is the time!
