Nature House - Today's Events

Here's what's on today!

9-11 Tides to Trails: Foraging Walk (all ages)
Location: Lawrence Valley Trail - meet in front of the Firehall

Thetis Island is home to a surprising abundance of wild edible plants, if you know where to look. Join us on the Lawrence Valley trail for a gentle foraging walk, learning to identify the edible plants growing right beneath our feet and all around us. From berries to leafy greens to roots and more - we'll explore how these plants have been used for food and medicine, and how to identify them safely. There may even be a little tasting along the way!

Central to our walk is the concept of the Honourable Harvest - the idea that we take only what we need, never more than half, give thanks for what we receive, and always give something back. A framework not just for foraging, but for how we might relate to the natural world more broadly.

1-3 SLC Drop-in: Extraordinary Eelgrass (all ages)
Location: Sea Life Centre at Telegraph Harbour Marina

Explore the extraordinary habitat that is an eelgrass meadow! Come learn about the species who call them home (some you can meet up close and personal in the touch tank!), the threats they face, and why they are so important.

The SLC is open Friday-Sunday whenever the seastar flag is flying - drop in anytime!
