Let's celebrate our Sanctuary, Workshop Families!

This is a reminder that next weekend, August 2-4, is our annual Get Into Your Sanctuary (GIYS) celebration. We have a lineup of activities including a whale watching cruise to the Farallon Islands (sold out), restoration on Kent Island and our Octo Lab Family Workshop!

Friday August 2

 Kent Island Restoration: Bolinas, 10am-2pm, Kate: kbimrose@farallones.org to register

Saturday August 3

 Octolab Family Workshops: Only a few more open spots for Octo Lab! Participants will discover one of the ocean's most intelligent invertebrates- the octopus! Teams will measure, weigh, study, touch, examine, and squish their way through the lab using their own defrosted octopus specimen. As the grand finale, we will create octopus stop motion videos as well as octopus prints for you to take home as keepsakes.
