Birds are full of energy—literally and figuratively! With the highest body temperatures of all animals, remarkable adaptations, and awe-inspiring migrations, they have much to teach us about energy. At the same time, human energy systems affect birds uniquely and severely.
This engaging program provides a fresh, little-known window into the world of birds while deepening our understanding of energy through the context of Earth's living systems.

In today’s highly competitive funding landscape, compelling narratives alone are no longer enough—funders increasingly expect clear, data-backed evidence of impact.
Strong data not only builds credibility, but helps your organization stand out, demonstrate outcomes, and make a more persuasive case for investment.
In this interactive workshop, participants will come away with a framework and an expanded toolbox that they can use to effectively communicate the value of their work to donors, grant makers, and other stakeholders.
Come and enjoy the work of a talented and special artist, Joe Milazzo. Milazzo's work borders on the reverent while expressing the humanity in western scenes. Your presence will help sustain the stories, spirit and legacy of the American West.
The art exhibition and sale is open through May 31rst, Wednesday through Saturdays, from noon to 4 pm.
Join us at Los Osos Library for a screening of the documentary film To Climb a Gold Mountain. This film tells the stories of four women of Asian descent who lived in America from the 1850s to the present day. The women came from different backgrounds and lived dramatically different lives. Some of the women featured in the film, such as Anna May Wong, have reached success and fame. Still others, like Sing Ye, who lived in the 1800s and fought for freedom, are all but forgotten.
Each woman’s story represents a distinct theme of struggle and triumph, and ushers in the succeeding story leading up to the present time. Through these stories, the film tracks the progression, evolution and legacy of the immigrants in America as they integrate into the fabric of America.
