Hosts: Amber Martin and Natasha Morisawa

Location:  Ft Townsend, Port Townsend, WA

Come walk with us while we explore the “love of life” humans have with natural environments. Amber and Natasha share ways in which this enhances our lives and can be integrated into everyday living. We find some banana slugs, evidence of other animals around, and breathe in the forest air, and you’re invited to come along!
