Doors open at 6:30pm for a community social with beer, wine, sparkling water, and tea available for purchase. The presentation will start at 7:00pm.
Native plants aren’t only beautiful, they’re also essential for pollinators! Species like bees, butterflies, and other helpful invertebrates rely on these plants for food, habitat, and more. Our presenter, Angie Orpet from the Xerces Society, will discuss collaborative efforts made by Washington growers to conserve these important species. She’ll discuss how planting native plants and creating pollinator habitat on working lands can assist with crop production.

In this workshop we will combine the science of lichenology with the joy of artistic creativity. We will cover 20 terms that describe the different structures and forms of lichen. We’ll illustrate them in a booklet that participants can take home for future reference.

We will cover the basic anatomy, forms, and other specialized structures that are important when identifying lichens. Combining art with science is a great way to learn and retain new information. If you are lichen-curious, this workshop is a can’t miss!

Microscopes, specimens, visual aids, paper, and drawing supplies will be provided. All skill levels welcome!
