ThINC presents Ocean LearnFest 2016

This year, as an expansion of our summer eco-day camp, ThINC is offering Ocean LearnFest from July 4-8, a fun filled week of activities for the whole community.

The festival is designed to expand our knowledge and enhance our connection to Thetis Island with a focus on local marine ecosystems. Learn how to canoe, find out about eelgrass and rockfish conservation, do some virtual diving with Andy Lamb, greet the morning with the dawn bird chorus, paddle with a naturalist.

Something for everyone. Art, science, film.  Special guest biologists. Evening presentations. Watch here, and the ThINC website www.thetisislandnatureconservancy.org for detailed information coming soon.

Hope to see you there!

Lost Cat

My Siamese-looking cat hasn't come home for five days. She is very shy and will usually run from people. 

If you see her, please let me know.

Rear-line Rototiller Needed

I need a rear-tine rototiller capable of tilling heavy clay soil.  Anyone have one in their shed they wish to part with?

Can't be seized...I already have one of those.
