“Meeting of the Minds — San Juan Islands National Monument: Past, Present, and Future” at Orcas Senior Center nonprofit at 1 p.m., Wednesday, March 18.

The Meeting of the Minds series of lectures continues at Orcas Senior Center with this season’s focus on our island home.

Did you know you could be at one of our country’s most beautiful national monuments without taking a ferry, an airplane or a car? Depending where you are on Orcas or any other of the San Juan Islands, you could be just steps away as the San Juan Islands National Monument is all around us!

Join the monument’s Outdoor Recreation Planner, James “Skeet” Townley, for a presentation about the presence of the Bureau of Land Management in the San Juan Islands and its stewardship – past, present and future – of the San Juan Islands National Monument. This presentation is free and all are welcome to attend.
