Saturday at the Nature House: Bird Conservation!

This Saturday, July 21st at the Nature House: Bird Conservation! Do you love birds? 

At 1 PM we will discuss the threats to birds in BC and what can be done in our own backyards to help including citizen science, organic gardening, birdbaths and bird feeders. Everyone will be welcome to make their own bird feeders using seeds, fruit, peanut butter, recycled plastic and materials from the garden (great for kids!). 

Around 2 PM we will learn how to identify local birds, talk about birdwatching using new technology and go for a walk through the forest at the Portal to see what we can find! 

By donation of $5 per individual, $10 per family, or free for Friends of the Nature House.

At the Portal, 254 North Cove Rd.

Wanted for Thetis Island Elementary ~ Tennis Balls!

In an effort to reduce the scraping noise, we are planning to put tennis balls on the chair and table legs in the class room.

Do you have any tennis balls in good-fair shape (no dog toys please) that you no longer need ?

Or maybe you know a source we could contact ?

At a minimum we would need 56, just to cover the chairs. Thank you so much !

Please contact Simone Luckham   250 246-4802 or simone@stonesculptor.ca
