Bees and Pollinators through the Macro Lens @ Sustainable Living Center @ the RE Store

Koma Kulshan Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society
Chapter Meeting:

Many people are unaware of the fascinating diversity of bees and other pollinators around the world. For example, in the state of Washington alone there are upwards of 700 species of native bees. To the naked eye, many of these organisms look like nothing more than a mundane house fly. Through the macro lens, however, a vastly different world is revealed. In this presentation, Aidan Hersh will showcase the beautiful bees and pollinators of Washington and beyond. Aidan Hersh is a macro photographer and native bee enthusiast living in Bellingham. He serves on the board of the Washington Native Bee Society and the steering committee of the Washington Bee Atlas. He hopes that his photography will spark interest in the too often forgotten yet vitally important world of bees and pollinators. His photos can be found on Instagram @photo.by.aidan

This is an in-person chapter meeting! The Koma Kulshan Chapter’s in-person meetings begin at 7pm in the Sustainable Living Center education room at the ReStore (2309 Meridian St.). The entrance is off the back alley and the SLC is upstairs.

Buried Bellinghistory - Bayview Cemetery Tour @ Bayview Cemetery

A guided walking tour of Bayview Cemetery, founded in 1887. We’ll explore the history of the cemetery and how it has changed over time, visiting the older sections of the cemetery and some of the most intriguing monuments. We’ll say hello to a lot of interesting folks who were laid to eternal rest in days of yore. This tour will last around two hours and covers less than one mile in distance. Terrain is mostly paved and level, however parts of the tour may include unpaved trails, uneven ground and slight inclines. (Tour Content Warning: Death, of course.) Meeting location and further details upon registration.
