Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service with Nisqually Land Trust-Planting Work Party @ Nisqually Land Trust
Tickets
Jan 18 @ 9:00 am – 3:30 pm

Hi everyone! Join us for a day of service to plant native trees and shrubs at Nisqually Land Trust’s Lackamas Flats protected area. “It’s a day ON, not a day OFF.”

Due to the most recent restrictions for our health and safety, we are limiting our events to 12 people plus 3 staff members on site per shift (morning from 9-12 and afternoon from 12:30-3:30). This is a large parcel being planting, so we’ll spread out in 3 groups of 5 people each (4 volunteers plus an NLT staff member) during each shift and adhere to the following health and safety procedures put into place for our events alongside the state’s overarching COVID-19 guidelines.

Please register (one registration for each person attending) for any and each event time you’d like to attend. If you show up without registering, you may be turned away.

Nisqually Land Trust Virtual Site Steward Workshop-Jan. 30th, 2021!! @ Nisqually Land Trust
Tickets
Jan 30 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

The Nisqually Land Trust acquires and manages critical lands to permanently protect the water, wildlife, natural areas, and scenic vistas of the Nisqually River watershed. With over 7,500 acres of protected land, it is important to pay close attention to any changes that happen on the land.

Site Stewards increase our capacity to track changes, and address any negative conditions before they cause lasting problems. Site Stewards are our “eyes on the ground,” and help us better protect the critical lands we preserve.

This virtual workshop (which will be held on zoom) is an opportunity to learn about the Land Trust and our Site Steward program. You’ll walk away with all the information you need to get started as a successful Site Steward.

Eternal Light: A Composition for Tacoma @ Symphony Tacoma Youtube Page
Tickets
Feb 6 @ 7:30 pm

Eternal Light is a “musical collage” of original works by local students inspired by Lux Aeterna, a movement in Mozart’s Requiem that expresses words of comfort and hope. It will premiere on Symphony Tacoma’s YouTube channel at 7:30 pm on Saturday, February 6, 2021. Preceding the premiere will be a Facebook Live conversation with the creative team facilitated by Symphony Tacoma Music Director Sarah Ioannides at 6:30 pm.

Over the summer, thirteen local students ranging in age from 10 to 17 accepted Symphony Tacoma’s invitation to create original music, lyrics, drawings and poetry that reflected their interpretation of “eternal light.” Maestra Sarah Ioannides, the project’s producer, has taken these submissions and weaved them into a new audio and visual composition to be performed and recorded by the youth who submitted as well as participants from Tacoma Youth Chorus, University Place Presbyterian Church’s Alleluia Singers (children’s choir) and Symphony Tacoma musicians.

“We hope this special project will bring joy to the hearts of many during these difficult times,” says Ioannides.
