Need for Quarterly Pick-up on Friday

Many thanks to the Cassels for picking up the Quarterly proof for us last Friday!

Now Island Blue is on schedule to have the Fall issue printed and ready for pick-up by Friday noon, if not before.  If there is anyone coming up from Victoria for the weekend, who could pick it up for us, that would be wonderful!  It's generally 3 boxes, roughly 9x12x14, possibly one of them smaller.  

Please let us know if you can help out with this – it saves one of us making a special trip down and back.

ThINC Nature House Program - Thank you and Feedback!

Last weekend we wrapped up the summer Nature House program for 2022.  

After two years of being closed/semi-closed, it was good to be open and busy once again! Over the course of 8-weeks we hosted a total of 66 events (including PAG and Seaquarium drop-ins) and drew a total of 613 visitors (including repeat visitors)! Thank you to everyone who came out to our programs and to all of our volunteers and guest speakers who made the Nature House program extra special. Also, this summer would not have been possible without our two very awesome summer employees, Connelly and Linnea.

Furthermore, thanks once again to the Porter family for sharing their amazing space with us, and to the Community Fund, the Government of Canada, the Government of BC, and to all of our members and Friends of the Nature House. 

As we are always looking to grow and improve our program, please take a few minutes and fill out this short feedback form: https://forms.gle/xEzXZFt4prHrqGZ29

Thank you,

Charlotte, ThINC Education and Stewardship Coordinator

ThINC Nature House: Sunday, Aug 28

9:00 - 11:00 am: Harvest Hours at the PAG, Lot 62 North Cove Road (all ages)

Today is the last scheduled day to visit the People's Apothecary Garden this summer! Drop by during our open hours: 9-11 to explore the space and/or harvest some plants! With the help from community volunteers and our wonderful summer employees, Linnea and Connelly, the garden is now at a place in which it can 'almost' self maintain for the remainder of the season! The medicinal plants are well-established and are able to keep the grasses and buttercup at bay, and hardy enough to withstand the drier conditions. Although we've planted some new botanical fellows, we've decided to wait until the rains come to plant the rest. After many days of digging, the path is now wider throughout - which is super helpful for workshops and walks, and for the Thetis Island School kids to zoom around more effectively!  

Thank you to everyone who visited the garden this summer, and a big thanks to all of our volunteers who gave us a hand at the PAG and/or shared their plant knowledge!

Open hours at the PAG will continue weekly throughout the fall until the space is put to rest for the winter (late Oct). For details on when, keep your eyes peeled on eSPOKES and/or on our website: www.thetisislandnatureconservancy.org

Thank you!
