SUMMARY:Fungi Finds & Field Notes: A Nature Journaling Foray
DESCRIPTION:Discover the amazing world of fungi at the third session of our Learning Through Art series. In partnership with the Philly Mycology Club and our friends at French Creek State Park\, this immersive program blends natural history\, creativity\, and mindful observation as we explore one of the most fascinating branches of life on Earth. \nDuring this special session\, participants will join volunteer leaders from Philly MycoClub for an informal\, curiosity‑driven walk‑and‑talk through the woods. Along the way\, we’ll slow down to notice the forms\, colors\, and textures of the mushrooms and lichens around us—pausing for nature journaling as we learn. Afterward\, we’ll embark on a group foray\, scattering across the landscape to see what kinds of fungi are popping up and then regrouping to identify\, discuss\, and document our finds. \nWhether you’re enchanted by mushroom ecology\, interested in improving your field observation skills\, or simply excited to sketch and note what you discover\, this relaxed and supportive program offers space for all levels of experience. Together\, we’ll explore why fungi are essential contributors to healthy ecosystems\, how to look for them responsibly\, and how journaling can deepen your relationship with the natural world. \nThis event will consist of an informal walk-and-talk as well as a foray. All you need to bring is a notebook or pad of paper\, a pencil or pen (materials will also be provided if you don’t have them)\, and your curiosity. We’ll take a moment to introduce the practice of nature journaling for any beginners\, offering prompts and simple techniques to help you observe\, record\, and engage with fungi in meaningful ways. \nMeet at Scott’s Run Lake parking lot (follow the link for direct meeting location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/xLtnSGKFCo7Y6Cj67) \nThis workshop is part of our ongoing Learning Through Art series\, where we partner with nature journaling ambassador Michele Murphy to cultivate creativity\, curiosity\, and connection across our parks and preserves. Wisdom begins in wonder—and we hope this series inspires you to explore\, reflect\, and notice more deeply each time you step outside. \nFrench Creek State Park is located within the Schuylkill Highlands Conservation Landscape\, a place-based partnership administered by Natural Lands and funded in part by a grant from the Community Conservation Partnerships Program under the administration of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources\, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation.

SUMMARY:Birds & Belonging: A Walk with Philly Queer Birders
DESCRIPTION:Birds\, community\, and spring vibes abound. Join us as Natural Lands teams up with Philly Queer Birders for an inclusive\, all-levels bird walk at Hildacy Preserve. \nThis relaxed outing welcomes LGBTQIA+ folks and allies to enjoy spring migration\, learn about local birds\, and connect with community in a supportive outdoor space. \nNo birding experience required—just curiosity and a love of being outside. \nAbout our partners: Philly Queer Birders\, founded in March 2021\, is a monthly group that builds LGBTQIA+ community through birding while exploring Philadelphia’s parks and natural spaces\, plus surrounding areas. The group welcomes all skill levels\, emphasizes accessibility and inclusivity\, and centers queer experiences\, offering a fun\, supportive environment for anyone who appreciates birds. \nThe songbirds\, raptors\, waterfowl\, and shorebirds—about 300 recorded species—that rely on habitats under Natural Lands care are not just beautiful but also essential to the health of our planet. What’s more\, they are environmental indicators\, warning us of climate shifts and other ecosystem changes. \nLearn more about what Natural Lands is doing for bird conservation.

SUMMARY:Poetry Circle & Connect: The Peace of Wild Things
DESCRIPTION:For as long as there has existed the written word\, people have written about the natural world. To explore their connection with and deepen their understanding of it. To express an appreciation for its beauty and to raise awareness about issues that threaten it. To reflect on their place within the larger ecosystem that includes us all. \nJoin us on the overlook hill at ChesLen Preserve (weather permitting) to celebrate National Poetry Month with an open share of nature-inspired poems. Share your own poems\, the poems of others you appreciate\, or simply listen.   \nThis event will be one for conversation and connection\, not critique; it is not intended as a workshop.   \nWe’ll gather at the Lenfest Center parking lot before walking to our space.  \nWhen despair for the world grows in me\nand I wake in the night at the least sound\nin fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be\,\nI go and lie down where the wood drake\nrests in his beauty on the water\, and the great heron feeds.\nI come into the peace of wild things\nwho do not tax their lives with forethought\nof grief. I come into the presence of still water.\nAnd I feel above me the day-blind stars\nwaiting with their light. For a time\nI rest in the grace of the world\, and am free.  \n– Wendell Berry

SUMMARY:Stardust! Summer Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Stardust: It’s literal. It’s metaphorical. And when it touches us\, it’s magical! \nVast meadows. Expansive views. Wooded hills. Abundant wildlife. Let Bryn Coed Preserve awe and inspire you as we gather for Stardust—Natural Lands’ annual summer celebration—to help raise awareness of and support for our mission. \nThe secret to Stardust’s magic? Being outdoors on a beautiful summer evening—wrapped in a stunning conserved landscape as far as the eye can see—for cocktails\, a roving supper\, and much merriment under the stars. \nBut the night-of experience is only part of the magic. Natural Lands’ regional mission to provide land for life and nature for all is vital. And your sponsorship or ticket purchase will advance our highest priorities for saving open space\, caring for nature\, and connecting people to the outdoors and each other. \nSo\, join us for the fun of it all. But know that your support has an impact\, and together we will make a difference. Today. And forever.
