Thanks for joining us last weekend for the 5th Annual Kingman Island Friends and Family Day!

We paddled, painted, planted, biked, observed insects, went on boat rides, learned about native ecology and habitats, danced, crafted, and more!

Thanks so much to all of our partners !

Scenes from today’s @doeedc.bsky.social Kingman Island Friends & Family Day. Watching kids run around with butterfly nets really helped me forget all the Everything Else. Thanks to @hillfamilybiking.org for all the enthusiasm!

A beautiful, amazing Kingman Island Friends & Family Day. Over 100 native flower and plant suncatchers made! Thanks to @doeedc.bsky.social for such a lovely community event!!!
Hands reach across the table to decorate suncatchers with native flowers and plants. A STUNNING suncatcher. Earthy and full with imagery of a sun and abundance. Two friends proudly hold up their suncatcher. A visitor works diligently assembling their beautiful suncatcher.
