Join author Sheila Harrington for an illuminating talk and reading of her latest book, Voices for the Islands: Thirty Years of Nature Conservation on the Salish Sea. Enjoy some great photography of the islands and its wildlife as she reads three engaging sections from the book, including some early history of the Conservancy Hornby Island.

Hear about Sheila's inspiring sailing trips to detail the legacies of founders and current conservationists on seventeen local islands, featuring Hornby Island in her reading. Celebrate the stories of these dedicated islanders!  Learn about the community's challenges and successes as well as their methods and tools for protecting these precious natural places. Books will be available for purchase at the event. 

"In these troubling times of climate change and biodiversity loss, Harrington's book is an uplifting testament to how individuals and communities working together to protect what they cherish can make an incalculable difference." SARAH COX, author of Signs of Life and Breaching the Peace
