Joel Sackett will present a series of photographs from his forthcoming book on farming in the area, titled “Air, Water, and Soil: Local Farmers on a Changing Environment.” An opening reception will be held at Bainbridge Performing Arts on April 1, and the photographs will be available for viewing in the gallery all month long.
Email-a-tree is a program by Elisabeth Robson and Olaf Ribeiro, in conjunction with the Bainbridge Island Metro Park & Recreation District.
Along with Olaf’s presentation about trees (April 23), you will be able to email special trees around the island during April. Each tree has been assigned an email address and will be receiving emails all month long. You might even get a reply!
To see which trees will be receiving emails and where they are located, check out the Email-a-tree page.
To get the email address of a tree, you must visit the tree in person. Please don’t forget to say hello to the tree while you are there.
We will be gathering emails sent to the trees and featuring them on the web site during and after April. If you would like to organize a walking tour of the trees, please contact Olaf Ribeiro.

The Bainbridge Island Photo Club presents images by Brazilian photographer Sebastiao Selgado in the main hall of the BI Community Center during the month of April. Selgado documents the human condition around the world. His high contrast black and white images are rich in the powerful stories they tell, their textural qualities and their composition. The club will discuss how this photographer explores man’s impact on the environment, the raw beauty of our planet, and tells his personal journey in support of healing the planet through his art.
The Photo Club will be showing The Salt of the Earth: The Photo Work of Brazilian Sabastiao Selgado, an Academy Award nominated film about Selgado, on April 27.
April is Earth Art Bainbridge month – an ongoing community effort to learn about climate change through art. Join Nature Nuts during spring break as we piece together a great puzzle – What is happening to our climate? By working together to create a collaborative masterpiece, making individual craft projects, and connecting with nature during our daily adventures, we will learn what our planet needs to stay healthy. If you love the Earth, then this is the camp for you!
