Steller Be The Change – Garden Project

gardenerPlease join Steller Be the Change and Yarducopia for a fun afternoon resurrecting the Steller Peace Garden and building community this Saturday from 1 – 4pm!  The garden desperately needs our love and attention and we really need your help. Our garden has the potential to grow abundant fruit and berries and lush vegetables, as well as to connect students, mentors and the earth.  On Saturday we will spread mulch around trees and learn to build a fertile lasagna garden.  Many hands make light work, and we will have time to share apple cider around a fire pit and get to know the garden: learn where the pear tree that bore a pear this summer is, check out the new compost pile, and dream of what spring can bring!  Everyone is welcome.  Please RSVP to Victoria at stellerbethechange@aol.com.  We will have garden tools on hand, as well as hot apple cider.  Please bring work gloves and appropriate outdoor wear for the day.  Also bring bags of clean leaves that you were planning to dispose of.  Snacks to share are welcome but not required!

The National Ocean Sciences Bowl

The 19th Annual Alaska Tsunami Bowl is happening February 26–28, 2016. We need to have a team by October to register. Again this year, the Alaska Region NOSB will consist of two parts: a tournament quiz-style academic competition, designed to challenge and recognize the students’ knowledge of sciences in the context of the oceans; and a project with written and oral components. The research project topic for the 2016 Tsunami Bowl is Coastal Resilience<http://seagrant.uaf.edu/nosb/2016/research-project.php>. Meet in Becky’s Room on Wednesdays at Noon.
