SUMMARY:Small\, Green\, and Hungry: Invasive Green Crab Impacts and Status in Alaska
DESCRIPTION:SMALL\, GREEN\, AND HUNGRY: INVASIVE GREEN CRAB IMPACTS AND STATUS IN ALASKA \nFriday\, September 12 | 5:30 to 6:30pm \nFREE | Suggested Donation of $5 \nJoin us for an informative marine life lecture presented by Jasmine Maurer\, Harmful Species Lead at Kachemak Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.\n\nInvasive European green crab (EGC) are considered one of the top 10 most unwanted invasive species in the world. They are a small but aggressive crab that can alter nearshore environments and out compete many native nearshore organisms for resources. Their ability to reproduce quickly can lead to population explosions in as little as 12 months. Since 2006\, Kachemak Bay National Estuary Research Reserve has been a leader in collaborating with state partners to prepare and monitor for the early detection of EGC in Alaska. KBNERR is an active partner in the Alaska Invasive Species Partnership (AKISP) working together across geography and agencies to keep Alaska wild and free from invasive species through outreach\, education and monitoring. Jasmine Maurer has been leading the KBNERR Marine Invasive Species Program since 2020 and will share past and current efforts in Kachemak Bay and across the state to minimize impacts of EGC in Alaska’s coastal ecosystem\, she will also share on EGC biology\, impacts and current status in Alaska. EGC were first detected in Alaska by the Metlakatla Indian Community Fish and Wildlife Program in 2022\, they are now confirmed to be\, at a minimum\, as far north as Kasaan on Prince of Wales Island. Following the presentation there will be an opportunity for hands-on learning of crab identification and EGC early detection methods.\n  \n

SUMMARY:Intergenerational Trauma & Healing Discussion Panel
DESCRIPTION:INTERGENERATIONAL TRAUMA AND HEALING DISCUSSION PANEL \nThursday\, September 11 | 5-6:30pm \nThe Homer community is invited to learn with three local women and each other about the process of recognizing\, understanding\, and resolving the emotional wounds passed down through familial generation that can manifest through physical\, behavioral and psychological burden. \nWhile our panelists are not professional experts in therapeutic psychology\, we have learned to listen to ourselves\, our children\, our partners\, our neighbors and how to process our emotions through the arts\, in nature\, and with our communities. \n\nSharon Whytal \nSharon grew up in a family that experienced violence\, and is grateful that even as professionals\, finally we no longer need to hold a separation from those we serve\, but instead use our emotional recovery in walking the healing together. She worked as a public health nurse for 26 years\, where she discovered that indigenous people\, despite their historical and intergenerational trauma\, hold much human wisdom that western culture has forgotten. She traveled to our local villages for 7 years as a family violence prevention advocate and a member of our local SART team and Child Advocacy Center. Sharon is a tribal advocate in violence prevention at Chugachmiut and Retired Public Health Nurse at State of Alaska. She loves kayaking our magnificent AK waters with friends\, cultivating the mystical in meditation\, gardening and living in this incredible community we have in Homer. \n\nBrianna Allen \nAs a multidisciplinary artist Brianna aims to expand the space of a mother’s authentic experience to make way for healing\, empathy\, and one’s own regeneration. When people have sanctified platforms to connect through mutual experiences\, a rich\, cathartic playground of trust emerges among us. Less alone\, life is renewed. \nBrianna’s art practice has been deeply informed by The Momologue Collective; an ongoing social art project which offers a platform and archive for hundreds of short stories (momologues) contributed by American mothers\, to be shared anonymously on social media with an aim to build community for mothers through storytelling. \nBrianna graduated from the University of Southern Maine with a degree in Studio Art and Entrepreneurial Studies with a concentration in Painting in 2008. She was born in Lewiston\, Maine. Homer\, Alaska has been her home since 2012. She has two daughters who are 5 and 7. Our best days are filled with baking\, cold dipping\, potion making\, gardening\, and tea time. \n\nJenny Baker \nJenny Baker is an Adolescent Health Project Coordinator for the Adolescent Health Program within the Women’s\, Children’s\, and Family Health Section of Alaska’s Department of Health.  She has a committed interest in primary prevention\, community engagement\, health equity\, and justice.  She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Alaska Pacific University in 2009.  Currently\, she supports the advisory and community intervention efforts of the Youth Alliance for a Healthier Alaska and coordinates the programmatic and evaluation efforts of the Teen and Unintended Pregnancy Prevention program.  She has previously worked in the fields of juvenile justice and youth enrichment in Oregon and Alaska.  She has been in Alaska for 20 years and is an adoring partner of Tom\, a mom of Mackenzie and a fur baby named Django\, and is a musician who loves recreating in the outdoors. \n—– \nThis Discussion Panel is part of our ongoing exhibit “Connected” by Sharlene Cline. This installation is an immersive exploration of our shared humanity. \nThis is a FREE event!

SUMMARY:Guided Garden Tours of the Pratt Museum Botanical Garden
DESCRIPTION:FREE // May 30 – August 30 // Thursdays and Saturdays \, 11am – Noon \nJoin the Pratt Museum Garden Crew for guided tours of the Botanical Gardens\, Homestead Garden\, and Forest Trails. \nWe will offer an interpretive introduction to the broader ecology of the Kachemak Bay region and describe the ways that we incorporate the plant communities of the region into the Botanical Garden at the Museum. Botany experts and novices alike can find delightful insights as we explore the interactions and dynamics of our local ecosystem. \nThe Homestead Garden is an ever-evolving exhibit featuring many classic fruits and vegetables and a few specific local varieties that have been treasured by the local community for generations. We will explore some of the basics of plant propagation\, discuss the benefits of perennial food crops and talk about food preservation and storage. Snacking is encouraged! Throughout the season\, something is always worth sampling from the garden\, though the real delight is black currant season in late autumn. \nThe Forest Trails showcase the ecological context in which the Museum is embedded. These trails wind through one of the larger remaining wild spaces in downtown Homer\, and have some of the largest remaining trees in the area. Wildlife is abundant and the plant communities are diverse. There are several loops of varying distance that wind through the nearly 10 acre forest. A meander through these woods with one of our guides will offer an opportunity for wildlife sightings\, listening to songbirds\, and discussing the ethnobotanical and historical uses of plants that live in our region.
