Events

Since 2014, Vineyard Conservation Society has partnered with the Martha’s Vineyard Film Society to present Nature as Inspiration, an annual Environmental Film Festival held each Memorial Day Weekend. Featuring powerful environmental films, guest speakers including directors and scientists, and an exhibition of winning student artwork in the Feldman Art Gallery, the festival celebrates the intersection of art, science, and environmental awareness.

Weeds have long been considered enemies of a manicured, quintessential suburban lawn. But the Vineyard Lawn welcomes weeds of all kinds, and for many different reasons. They attract pollinators, act as natural aerators, and boost biodiversity. Plus, as Rebecca Gilbert of Native Earth Teaching Farm and author of “Weedy Wisdom for the Curious Forager” lauds, you can eat some of them! Bring your family to the farm for an afternoon of fun and outdoor education.

Please join us Tuesday, June 30th, 5:30 pm at Stillpoint in West Tisbury for the annual meeting of the VCS Membership and Board of Directors. The event is free and open to the public, and we encourage everyone who is interested in creating a more sustainable future for the Island to join us. The annual meeting is always a great opportunity to get a closer look into what initiatives VCS is currently working on.
