Stewardship Saturday: Craft for Conservation

Join Ciclo and The Marine Mammal Center for a hands-on, creativity driven event exploring how sustainability and conservation are deeply connected. Together, we’ll learn about how reducing waste and reusing materials can support a healthier planet and protect marine life. During this event, participants will transform upcycled materials into jewelry, patches, and other hand-sewn creations. We’ll discuss how our everyday fashion choices play a role in environmental stewardship. By the end of the event, we hope you’ll leave feeling inspired to take sustainable action, empowered by new creative skills, and motivated to continue your conservation journey through mindful choices.

Stewardship Saturday events vary in levels of physical and mental exertion. Please review the entire event description, including accessibility notes, to ensure this event meets your expectations.
