Thursday, April 20, 2023 at 7:00AM Covid has struck again! Some key people for ThINC's Nature Stewards Information Session scheduled for Saturday are currently ill, so to keep our guest presenters and attendees safe, we have decided to postpone to a later date. We'll keep you posted about rescheduling.
Thank you for your understanding. Stay well and happy Earth Week! We hope you'll spend Earth Day out in nature.
