The recording will be pinned to Swaner's Facebook event. This event is part of Swaner's Walks, Talks, & Workshops program. The arrival of spring means longer days, warmer termperatures, and also baby wildlife! Nesting and fledging birds and baby mammals are often patients at Park City's Wasatch Wildlife Conservation Center. But when do these animals actually need help? And how can you help? Join Swaner and Wasatch Wildlife Conservation Center (WWCC) for a short presentation and Q&A just in time for spring! This event is designed for all ages. Register at www.swanerecocenter.org

Glen Canyon Exposed: Now + Then

Glen Canyon Exposed: Now + Then is a landmark photographic and film exhibit by celebrated artists Dawn Kish and Tad Nichols. This unique showcase presents two perspectives of Glen Canyon: Nichols’ iconic 1950s images, captured before the construction of Glen Canyon Dam, and Kish’s contemporary photographs and documentary film, chronicling the canyon’s stunning reemergence as water levels recede. The exhibit blends art and advocacy, bringing together the work of two artists separated by decades but united by their shared love for Glen Canyon. Visitors will journey through time, witnessing the power of photography and film to preserve, protect, and inspire action for this iconic landscape. Although this project began as a story for Arizona Highways Magazine, it quickly expanded to encompass other publications, Tad Talks, exhibits, and the award winning film Tad's Emerging World. Glen Canyon Exposed is the next step in documenting and sharing the story of this hidden treasure of the Southwest.

The event will also stream on Zoom for those who are unable to join in person. Seeds of Remembrance is an opportunity for individuals to come together and cope with the loss of a family member or friend while honoring the memory of the person who died. The event is free and open to the public. This year’s theme is “Forging a New Path: A Way Forward in Grief.” The program’s featured speaker is Vickie Walker, founder of the non-profit Circles of Comfort. In 2007, Vickie’s husband was killed in a shooting at Trolley Square in Salt Lake City. Vickie went on to create Circles of Comfort, an organization that provides community support, resources, and information to victims of violent crime and sudden, unexpected death. In this year’s program, Vickie will be sharing her story and how she has been navigating her journey with grief. The program will also feature musical performances by Esera Mose. This event is free and open to the public. Parking will be available at or near the building. For more information, call 801-585-9522 or email caringconnections@utah.edu.
