Islands Trust News Release: September 2022 Islands Trust Council Quarterly Meeting Announced

https://mailstorm.caorda.com/campaigns/em362n9vpve7c/web-version/bz299xot5we64

Yellow Weather Notification for British Columbia.

A ridge of high pressure is building this week and will bring temperatures close to Heat Warning criteria for parts of the South Coast, Southern Interior and possibly the Central Interior and Peace region.

Temperatures meeting Heat Warning criteria are expected to be marginal and short lived; however, may still increase risk of heat related illness. Please monitor public weather alerts for possible Heat Warnings.

As the ridge breaks down and a change in the weather pattern occurs, there will be a risk of thunderstorms starting on Thursday, becoming more widespread by Friday. Fire danger will steadily increase in response to building heat and the drying of forest fuels. Also, the risk of lightning will increase the potential of new wildfire activity and gusty winds from thunderstorms may further enhance the spread of wildfires.

Plants for the PAG!

Hi everyone!

I am hoping to establish a native medicinal plant section at the People's Apothecary Garden and I was wondering if anyone has any of the following plants and would be willing to share some?! It's a long list and includes: camas, oceanspray, yerba buena, oregon grape, licorice fern, rattlesnake plantain, silverweed, red elderberry, red flowering currant, cooley’s hedge nettle, and bleeding heart.

I'd also like to add more (non-native) medicinals, including: spearmint, chamomile, echinacea, gold seal and wild bergamot. I am also open to other suggestions!

If anyone has any of these plants please email me at linnea@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org 

Thank you so much Thetis island community for your endless generosity and kindness!

Seeking Names from Family Fun Day

Greetings Islanders,

There are some good photos of kids enjoying the sac race and water closet at the Family Fun Day last weekend. The photos have been chosen to be included in the upcoming Quarterly, and one potentially as the cover!  However, I need names and parental permission in order to use them and unfortunately I don’t recognize the kids.

Anyone who had family or visitors here whose boy (likely age 8-12) who participated in the coffee sac race, or a girl (likely age 10-14) with braided hair and nike shoes who got soaked in the water closet, please contact me at hunter_studio@hotmail.com

I believe the young boy may be connected with the Vickers family? Hoping to identify these smiling kids so they can be included in the upcoming Quarterly.

Many thanks,
Tricia Hunter
