We’ve got so many reasons to give thanks! In each of our program areas, we see ordinary people taking heroic action to protect our home from the pressures of a changing climate.
This year-end, we’re highlighting stories that inspired us and sharing how we’re planting seeds to create a climate-resilient future for all of us.
With our native pollinators, more is more. The more habitat we plant, the more easily our native pollinators can find shelter and food, the more resilient they become to the challenges posed by pesticides and extreme heat—the more stable our entire food ecosystem becomes.

Imagine a solid trivia stack with a magnetic host in an outdoor intimate setting. Then add the excitement of BYOB and pedaling around the City on a one-of-a-kind contraption.
Kinda like if Willy Wonka did Trivia… you will be completely entertained, with no sense left unfulfilled.
And come back for more as we have several questions sets available with a good ole just for locals option!
Trivia tours seat up to 15 people, 1.5 or 40 mins hours long. Bring your own beer in cans or wine and your thinking while drinking caps on let’s do this thing!

White Horse’s legendary Open Mic re-starts after a year off for bad behavior (COVID, really). Host Bill Altork will help us present wonderfully talented folks on their way up. The signup sheet is placed on the bar at 6:30 and the first ten to sign in are the performers for the evening. Each gets 15 minutes or three songs. It’s a lot of fun… especially since it’s free!
We’ll be following all COVID-19 protocols and we ask that you wear your mask when you’re not singing or enjoying a beverage from the bar.
Join us to share your music or just enjoy an evening in the audience!
