Cursive is making a comeback … Why? What is it’s history? We will explore the why and how. With an opportunity to try it yourself. Open House, Carriage House, Pioneer Church, One Room Schoolhouse and Heirloom Gardens. Talk and penmanship at 2 pm at the One Room Schoolhouse.

Please join the Chehalis Land Trust team and Naturalist and Wildlife Guide Ryan Johnson for a walk at Chehalis River Discovery Trail.
In this session, Ryan will point out key trees and plants for us to learn, while discussing strategies and tips for identifying them in the field, as well as some of their relevant ethnobotanical history!
This hike will be considered easy difficulty. We’ll cover less than two miles, with frequent stops to review and interpret different plants we see along the path.
Please RSVP at the link below, the event is free!

Faced with extinction in many river systems of the West, a new genetic discovery could aid in their recovery. Once teaming in the millions and a sacrament for the oldest civilizations in the Americas, time is running out for the genetically distinct wild salmon” (PBS). Come eat popcorn and discuss what we can do to help save this incredible fish that call our rivers home!
Imago’s shows have been described as Cirque Du Soleil-evoking acrobatics mixed with Mummenschanz-like mime, set in a unique, yet accessible, French-influenced, avant-garde playground. ZooZoo is penguins playing musical chairs, a cat trapped in a giant paper bag, hippos with insomnia, anteaters as waiters, and a madcap revue of illusion, comedy and fun that has inspired audiences nationwide. Imago has performed in China, Europe and at some of North America’s most revered festivals.
A good time for the entire family!
