Nature House Week 3: July 16-19

This week we're exploring the connections that hold our island ecosystems together - from the mucky business of green crab monitoring with TIME Jr., to the buzzing world of native pollinators at the PAG, to the remarkable journey of a salmon from forest stream to open sea at the SLC. And it all builds toward something very special: the Nature of Forests Weekend on July 18 & 19 - a remarkable two-day program put together by our friends at Community Climate Resilience, with ThINC's proud support. Two days of field workshops, indigenous knowledge, and expert talks!
