WTF Tour of “The Hedgerow by Cruising Climate” – Thu, Oct 9th
“Well, that’s farming.” “What’s the future?” “Walk the farm.” “Well, that failed.” “What the f—?” Pick whichever WTF definition feels best to you-all of them will be explored on this walking tour of “The Hedgerow by Cruising Climate.” Hailey Lampe is now over one year into stewarding the food forest and native plant nursery in Port Townsend and has many lessons, pivots, successes, and mistakes to share. As you stroll, you will explore what worked well in the last year, what challenges she faced, and how she plans to solve some of the problems next season. This is a learning farm- let’s find out what you can learn from it! Send email to Hailey Lampe with questions.
Registration is required and will close one day before the event. Click here to register.

Calling Local Photographers!
Local 20/20 Weekly Announcements invites local photographers to submit images that capture the character of our community and its natural setting. For the opening photo of each weekly email (which is also posted to our website), we seek local color, horizontal (“landscape”) orientation, and jpeg format. Please no children, pets, or recognizable faces. Kindly email your photos, including your name in the jpeg filename. If you’re sending multiple images, please send one per email. We are an all-volunteer non-profit, so compensation for your talent and generosity is a photo credit and our profound thanks.
