Opening with an Earth Day storytelling by Jenny DeGroot at the public library at 10:30\, the Parade assembles on the back lawn at the library starting at 11am and the procession heads down to North Beach Rd at 11:30am. Passing through Eastsound to Main Street\, the Earth Day Orcas Parade culminates at Emmanuel Episcopal Church at noon.

The Eco Fair features the San Juan \nCounty Land Bank\, The Orcas Garden Club\, Orcas Community Participatory Agriculture\, the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild\, Black Cap Restoration\, The Orcas Seed Project\, The Funhouse Science Fair\, and the Camp Orkila marine science program.

SUMMARY:Carbon Flows: A Collaborative Talk with Artist Suze Woolf & Scientist Dave Peterson
DESCRIPTION:Carbon is integral to every aspect of life on earth\, yet its increasing presence in our atmosphere is driving unprecedented climate change\, contributing to more areas burned by wildfires. Artist Suze Woolf began painting large portraits of individual burned trees in 2008 as she noticed increasing burned-over areas in her favorite wildernesses. Dr. David L. Peterson has studied climate change\, fire\, and ecological disturbances over a long research career. Together they will show how their respective disciplines create a more holistic perspective on the effects of climate on forest ecosystems. \nRSVP at https://www.monamuseum.org/events/carbonflows
