Frogs, Newts and Salamanders

Not a recipe for a witch’s potion, but tiny amphibians that might be living in your garden!! We are lucky to live in an area where these amazing little animals are still relatively abundant, but they are very sensitive and face many threats. Come learn why they are important and what we can do to protect them.

Shona Aitken will be our speaker. She is Education Coordinator at Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. She is originally from Scotland, but has lived on San Juan Island for 25 years (so she is almost a local!) and has worked in various animal care and education roles at Wolf Hollow for most of that time. She has a degree in Ecology from the University of Stirling in Scotland and has worked in a range of wildlife-related positions including being a Countryside Ranger and carrying out research for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Come hear her share her knowledge of the world of amphibians.

At every meeting, we enjoy general discussion of gardening issues and gardening experiences of all in attendance. The topics among members and guests usually range from greenhouse gardening, container gardening, to gardening with seasonal crops and beyond.
All are welcome!!

Please join us for tea, coffee, dessert and a wonderful program. RSVP to Marguerite Bennett at 378-8524 or just drop in and join the discussion.
