Get ready to kick off the season with a hands-on celebration of local biodiversity!

Join us at the George Pegg Botanic Garden for our first special event of the year: a community BioBlitz in partnership with iNaturalist.

Whether you're a seasoned naturalist or a curious beginner, this is a fantastic opportunity to explore the outdoors, learn from experts, and contribute to local citizen science.

  • Art & Culture: Step inside the historic log home to view a stunning exhibition of Lisa Matthias’s artwork.
