Hear local award-winning author and biologist Thor Hanson speak about his newly released book, The Triumph of Seeds, at a free event co-sponsored by Griffin Bay Bookstore and the San Juan Preservation Trust on May 22 at the Friday Harbor Grange Hall beginning at 7 pm.

Following the presentation and a Q&A session, refreshments will be available and Thor will be signing books. A portion of the proceeds from the evening will benefit the San Juan Preservation Trust’s Campaign to Save Mount Grant, a 141-acre ridge property on San Juan Island that will provide a scenic, accessible nature preserve for all.
