Join Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation, BLM, and USFS in removing a mile of barbed wire fence from an important Mule Deer migration route near Fremont Lake in Pinedale. This can be challenging, physical work on uneven ground but the results are very rewarding. Please register on JHWF website.

Brighten someone’s day, starting with yours! Swing by to grab a free houseplant to share. Give it to a friend you haven’t seen in ages, surprise someone who needs a smile or share a little green joy with a resident at a Senior Living Facility. Plants make great conversation starters. Who knows, you might just make a new friend!

Please join us for a scarf marbling workshop! Each person will receive one scarf and will have the opportunity to dye it using the marbling method. You may also marble some paper! It is a group project so plan on helping others dye their scarves and have a fun community art afternoon! Space is limited to 8 people, so register now. (There is also a Friday evening class available, same process.) Ages 12 and up are welcome. $30 for members, $45 for not yet members.
