Planting an insectary garden helps us to balance our domesticated gardens with the wild spaces that surround them\, working with\, rather than against nature. By attracting and welcoming a variety of insects and other creatures (such as hummingbirds\, butterflies\, and amphibians) to the garden we can provide natural pest control\, boost pollination for better yields\, improve soil health\, and reduce our reliance on harmful chemical pesticides. In this workshop you will learn how to make your garden a welcoming habitat by providing nesting sites\, shelter and security\, host plants for eggs and larvae\, nectar plants\, and water. \nThis program is free; space is limited and registration is required. \nRegistration opens February 1st. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Mark Grant is Incredible Edible Milbridge Coordinator at WHRL and he gardens at Milbridge Commons Wellness Park and Red Barn Motel. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Planning an Insectary Garden\n \n NameThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Planning an Insectary GardenThis session is full.

Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions\, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza\, vodka\, and phone chats with Mummy. \nBut everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond\, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy\, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk\, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And it is Raymond’s big heart that will ultimately help Eleanor find the way to repair her own profoundly damaged one. \nSoon to be a major motion picture produced by Reese Witherspoon\, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine is the smart\, warm\, and uplifting story of an out-of-the-ordinary heroine whose deadpan weirdness and unconscious wit make for an irresistible journey as she realizes the only way to survive is to open your heart. \n \n \n \n \n \n Book Groups are open to anyone age 18 or older for whom "woman" is a meaningful identifier or lived experience. \nOur book discussion group meets for three sessions.

Elastic waistbands are essential to prevent breath obstruction. Sneakers are good\, and shoes may stay on during practice. If you have yoga blocks\, please bring them.  No mat is needed. \nGeri Valentine is the instructor for this series. She is certified in both Yin and Kripalu Yoga\, forms of Hatha Yoga.

Perhaps there is some sort of secret homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers.” January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War\, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she’s never met\, a native of the island of Guernsey\, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb. . . . \nAs Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters\, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends—and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society—born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans occupying their island—boasts a charming\, funny\, deeply human cast of characters\, from pig farmers to phrenologists\, literature lovers all. \nJuliet begins a remarkable correspondence with the society’s members\, learning about their island\, their taste in books\, and the impact the recent German occupation has had on their lives. Captivated by their stories\, she sets sail for Guernsey\, and what she finds will change her forever. \nWritten with warmth and humor as a series of letters\, this novel is a celebration of the written word in all its guises and of finding connection in the most surprising ways. \nRegistration opens August 1st.  \n \n \n \n \n \n Book Groups are open to anyone age 18 or older for whom "woman" is a meaningful identifier or lived experience. \nOur book discussion group meets for three sessions.

By learning a few basic skills\, you can make the difference between a good and bad outcome – and maybe even save a life. \nWilderness First Aid is the perfect course for outdoor enthusiasts who want basic first-aid training for short trips with family\, friends\, or outdoor groups. We are excited to have Nancy Zane\, a Registered Maine Guide and owner of NorthStar Adventures\, return to teach this course! \nWilderness First Responder recertification will be available to participants for an additional $15.00 per person. You must have a SOLO WFR to recertify with a WFA course.  If you have a WFR from a company other than SOLO\, you can only recertify with a WFR recertification course. \nCPR certification will be available immediately after class for an additional $25 per person. \nFor any questions\, email Lizzie at lizzie@whrl.org or call 413-717-7827. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 2026 Wilderness First Aid\n \n Your InformationName(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Phone(Required)Mailing Address(Required) \n \n \n \n Street Address\n \n \n City\n \n AlabamaAlaskaAmerican SamoaArizonaArkansasCaliforniaColoradoConnecticutDelawareDistrict of ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaGuamHawaiiIdahoIllinoisIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMinnesotaMississippiMissouriMontanaNebraskaNevadaNew HampshireNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaNorthern Mariana IslandsOhioOklahomaOregonPennsylvaniaPuerto RicoRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahU.S. Virgin IslandsVermontVirginiaWashingtonWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingArmed Forces AmericasArmed Forces EuropeArmed Forces Pacific\n State\n \n \n ZIP Code\n \n \n Is there anything else we should know?
