Earth Appreciation Day – Plants and Poetry
Join Audubon Mid-Atlantic and Temple University at the Discovery Center as we work to maintain our habitats and conservation work for Earth Day! This site is home to over 170+ species of birds, many species of insects and mammals, and up to thousands of visitors per year. Our efforts can aid in the livelihood of these animals and stewardship for the people. We’ll focus on removing invasive bushes and plants around the trailhead so we can plant native shrubs in the future, as well as fill our seed packets for the public seed library.
Afterwards, we open our space to an open stage for those to come and share their voice and appreciation of our earth and community. This can be through poetry, stories and other types of offerings. This session will start with a brief, Strawberry Mansion history lesson from our neighborhood and tour leader Judith.
Time: 1-2:30pm Volunteer Engagement / 2:30-4pm Open Stage
