These days when we’re all spending more time alone it really important to get out enjoy the good weather and participate in on line activities. Of course we do this using zoom discussions because we can’t all get together. Our mental health is so important and discussions like these give us something to look forward too and are very important. I’m so pleased Ruth and Rod agreed to share their environmental watershed journey over the last 40 plus years. Their passion for education has touched hundreds of individuals and in many cases had impact on where young people started their careers.

You only care about what you know about. When: Monday, March 1st @ 7PM With special guests: Co-Founders Rod MacVicar and Ruth Foster Join us for a friendly conversation about how a school project helped re-wild a local stream and inspire thousands of students, volunteers, and families to actively participate in hands-on stewardship over the past 45 years. Mossom Creek co-founders Rod MacVicar and Ruth Foster will be on-line with their reflections and we will share wildlife ...camera captures from the Mossom Creek watershed to show just how wonderfully wild our local creeks and forests are. Audience participation will be encouraged during this informal discussion. Do you have a wildlife story to share? http://www.mossomcreek.org/our-wild-watershed-zoom-talk/

Tom Saare is talking to us about co-existing with cougars in our community.
