The Island Green Building Association will remind residents why the natural environment of St. John is worth fighting for on Thursday, May 2, when IGBA Executive Director Dr. Barry Devine will present “A Naturalist’s Journey From Ridge to Reef: Virgin Islands Resources Worth Protecting.”

Devine will deliver a fascinating presentation on the wonders of Virgin Islands beauty from peak to reef. This potluck event will take place at 5:30 p.m. at the Gifft Hill School Upper Campus atrium; please bring a dish to share.

This presentation is a Green Thursdays Seminar, part of the Island Sustainability Series presented by IGBA and GHS’s Education And Resiliency Through Horticulture program. These monthly seminars focus on making the Virgin Islands a greener place to live. All are welcome to attend.

Devine’s May 2 presentation will wrap up the 2012-2013 Green Thursdays series. Note that the date has been changed from April 25 to May 2 so as not to interfere with St. Thomas Carnival festivities.
