Non-human species, both plant and animal, are rapidly becoming extinct due to human activity.  Let us remember them.  Please join with members of Biodiversity First! and Pacific Wildlife Care by bringing a small rock with you to the Remembrance.  Each rock will represent a species that has been lost forever.  Learn something about the species you choose to honor and memorialize it, share your knowledge with others. We will place the rocks in a pile, and as the pile grows, so will our awareness.
