This week the Pod explored the wonders of the intertidal with local marine naturalist extraordinaire and all-round cool guy, Andy Lamb, and collected a few fascinating critters for the touch-tank and seaquarium. We also met with a number of Thetis Islanders who pitched their project ideas to the group in a 'Shark Tank' / 'Dragon's Den' style way (but a much kinder version!).
Project Ideas Pitched:
Invasive Species Removal and Education
Thetis Sustainability Challenge
Rain Gardens at the Pollinator Garden
Mason Bee House
Sustainable Transportation for Thetis Island
Black Solider Fly Larvae Farming (waste > larvae > chickens!)
Raised Bed Construction at the Community Hall
Mushroom Cultivation
Thetis Island Tool Library
Composter Construction and System for the Nature House/Pollinator Garden
After using this weekend to ruminate on the finalist projects, we should have a good idea of what our project will be by Monday...
