Bull Kelp – the dance below the waves

We’re excited to have Jackie Hildering return in-person in Fellowship Hall to share more of her passion for our marine neighbours. 

You may remember her past presentations with the Fellowship which have included speaking about humpback whales, marine biodiversity, sea slugs, and orca. On April 10th, Jackie will share her photographs to take us to her happiest of places – Bull Kelp forests. She will speak about their vital importance to life on Earth, describe their amazing reproduction, and answer the essential question: Is there enough carbon monoxide in Bull Kelp to kill a chicken? Yes, the presentation will be a dance of science and humour, of light and dark, and of beauty and disconnect.
