Garden Club to present ‘Where Have All the Insects Gone?’

||| FROM ORCAS ISLAND GARDEN CLUB |||

Please join the Orcas Island Garden Club on Wednesday, January 15th when we welcome Linda Gilkeson to speak about how global insect populations have crashed over the last coupled of decades and why this matters for our food supply, a healthy environment, and the future of wildlife.

She has extensive experience as an entomologist, including working for the provincial government of British Columbia promoting programs to reduce and eliminate pesticide use and as Executive Director of the Salt Spring Island Conservancy. Linda now devotes her time to writing, teaching and consulting. Linda will present to us via Zoom but we welcome you to join us to view the presentation and then enjoy social time at the Orcas Center.
