M I N D F U L ☼ M O N D A Y S

Remembering the small, sweet tenderness of the living world in moments like this. In our rushed lives and overwhelmed schedules we can sometimes forget to see the small things - such as this Banana Slug enjoying a little mushroom snack in the afternoon sunshine.

Bearing witness to what lies at our feet helps to remind us of how big… and small… this world really is.

What tiny things are you noticing in your world today? What is one little bit of life you can stop to appreciate?

Join us on Sunday, March 28th from 11:00-12:30 for our next Thrive: EcoGrief and EcoAnxiety Circle on Zoom. More info at yournec.org/thrive

Illegal dumping is a big problem on the Peninsula but there's plenty of ways that we can help fix it. If you'd like to get more involved with keeping our beaches free from litter, check out our Trash Trackers program!

CREATURE FEATURE🌼

Is there a more iconic spring wildflower than the Pacific Trillium (Trillium ovatum)? Well, maybe the crocus comes close. But in the Pacific Northwest, the three white petals of Pacific Trillium, or "wake robin", are a sure sign that spring is just around the corner.

You can find these sensitive, long lived wildflowers in shady redwood forests, where they sprout their showy blossoms from an underground rhizome. Their flowers attract native bees and other important pollinators, and their fleshy seeds are carried off by ants. Once finished with their meal, the ants will toss out the seed and it will sprout into a new trillium. It can take as long as 10 years for a trillium seed to grow large enough for its first bloom...but for flowers as pretty as these, its worth the wait!
