SUMMARY:Owl Howl: Section A
DESCRIPTION:Many people have heard an owl\, but few have ever seen one. Mt. Cuba’s varied landscapes and topography provide the ideal habitats for three of Delaware’s native owl species – the barred\, great horned\, and Eastern screech – and winter is the best time to spot them roosting in our trees. Owls are nocturnal so join us as we search for them just after dusk. Following a brief introductory lecture\, we’ll head out into the garden and listen for their unique calls. Dress for the weather. \nThis program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Wednesday\, November 1st\, 2023 (Rain Date: Wednesday\, November 8). \n About the Instructors: \nJoe Sebastiani is the Director of Adult Engagement for the Delaware Nature Society. He is passionate about birds and wildlife\, founded the Ashland Hawk Watch\, and edits Delaware eBird\, an online checklist program\, for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. \nIan Stewart\, PhD\, was raised in Newcastle\, England and received a doctorate in ornithology from the University of Leicester. He has conducted research on tree swallows and bluebirds and how local land management activities are affecting bird numbers and diversity throughout the year. Ian works for the Delaware Nature Society where he is studying the effects of non-native plants on birds. \nRegister Now \nMember Registration \n

Try 3101 Market St or Cira South Garage \nDifficulty:  Average / Advanced  \nCategory: nature\, history\, urban\, scenic \nCoordinator: Charles Updike \nAn Autumn Walk in the Park\n26.2 miles (or 13.1 miles) from 30th St Station to Chestnut Hill through Fairmount Park and the Wissahickon Valley.\nWalk the entire breadth of the city through the largest landscaped city park in the world\, Fairmount Park\, with the autumn colors at their peak along the Schuylkill River Trail and Forbidden Drive along the Wissahickon Creek. \nIn the early 19th century\, the Wissahickon was a hub for small industry\, due to its steady water flow for powering mills. When industry moved downtown\, the area was preserved to protect the water supply for the region\, producing an environment that became world renowned for its beauty and inspired the works of Walt Whitman\, John Greenleaf Whittier\, Edgar Allen Poe\, Christopher Morley\, and Currier and Ives. Forbidden Drive is so named for its prohibition of all motor vehicles. The Wissahickon Valley has a stillness untouched by time\, strange for one of the world’s larger cities\, and is surely Philadelphia’s best kept secret\, offering as appealing a walking route as is available for a hundred miles around. \n“The Wissahickon is of so remarkable a loveliness that\, were it flowing in England\, it would be the theme of every bard.” — Poe \n \n“Some of my happiest hours have been spent there\, some of my freest hours.” — Whitman \nOur journey begins at 30th Street Station\, with convenient connections to Septa\, NJ Transit\, Amtrak and Megabus. The walk ends in the tony main-street neighborhood of Chestnut Hill\, where we shall meet for eats and libations\, with two train stations available to carry us back to 30th Street. Easy gravel and paved terrain\, with very few road crossings after one leaves Center City. Two snack bars with nearby bathrooms assist along the way. \n \nThe half-marathon route is a shortest-distance trek along the Schuylkill and Wissahickon. The full route provides a broad and meandering treatment of all of the many highlights of sprawling Fairmount Park\, along with visits to the places of debate and worship of our founding fathers\, the site of the 1876 Centennial Exposition\, the world’s tallest masonry building\, dozens of works of public art\, and the nation’s most pioneering and pedestrian-friendly cemetery\, replete with graves of countless war heroes\, inventors\, tycoons and even local icons like Harry Kalas and Rocky’s Adrian Balboa. \nVisit FreeWalkers.org for more walks like this!\n \nMap of walking route\nMARATHON WALK Highlights\n\nUniversity of Pennsylvania\nSchuylkill Banks Boardwalk\nRittenhouse Square\nWashington Square\nIndependence Hall\nCarpenters Hall\nSpruce Street Harbor Park\nPenns Landing\nChrist Church\nCity Hall\nLogan Circle\nBen Franklin Parkway\nArt Museum steps\nFairmount Waterworks\nBoathouse Row\nKelly Drive\nMemorial Hall\nJapanese House and Garden\nBelmont Plateau\nStrawberry Mansion Bridge\nLaurel Hill Cemetery\nFalls Bridge\nWissahickon Creek\nBattle of Germantown\nForbidden Drive\nValley Green Inn\nMagarge Dam\nCovered bridge\nChestnut Hill\n\nHALF-MARATHON Highlights\n\nFairmount Waterworks\nBoathouse Row\nKelly Drive\nFalls Bridge\nWissahickon Creek\nBattle of Germantown\nForbidden Drive\nValley Green Inn\nMagarge Dam\nCovered bridge\nChestnut Hill\n\nVisit freewalkers.org for ongoing event info: http://freewalkers.org/events \n \nPartners:The East Coast Greenway Alliance is a non-profit organization developing a public multi-use 3\,000 mile trail from Canada to Key West through New Jersey and New York.

Clean Water Action’s 50-mile combined bike ride and fundraising event will raise awareness of environmental justice issues in Pennsylvania.

On Saturday\, October 28\, bikers will travel a loop on the Harrisburg Capital Area Greenbelt\, beginning and ending at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. The ride will offer a contrasting journey through the streets that have huge mansions\, underserved communities and off-road\, wooded trails with lots of trees\, and a creek on the Susquehanna River. It will also offer a view of the Harrisburg Incinerator smoke stack located in the Susquehanna Resource Management Complex in the last half mile of the trip. \nThe next Saturday\, November 4th bikers will assemble near the site of the Nicetown Combined Heat & Power plant and peddle to the Falls Bridge and Schuylkill River Trail to South West Philly pass the junkyard and tire dumps in the neighborhoods of Kingsessing and Elmwood and to Eastwick\, the site of the Clearview Landfill and chronic flooding. The trip will end in the City of Chester passing the proposed site of the proposed Penn LNP and the Chester Waste to Energy Incinerator. \nBoth trips will feature stops and brief presentations led by Maurice Sampson at Environmental Justice locations.

SUMMARY:Start Patternmaking: Draft your own Personal Sloper (Plus-Size Exclusive)
DESCRIPTION:Drape and draft a basic bodice\, skirt\, sleeve\, and pant pattern block to fit your own body. This class is exclusively for plus-size sewists.\n\n\n*PLEASE NOTE: This workshop section is being offered exclusively for members of the plus-size community\, because patternmaking is a body-conscious process and it has been my dream (as a petite-plus person myself) to offer a space where other plus-size sewists can work together to make patterns for our bodies without judgment. If you typically wear a size XL or above\, this is for you! If not\, please register for the other section for all bodies. The course is open to folks of all genders 18+.* \n \nCurious about drafting your own sewing patterns? The best place to start is by creating a sloper\, which is a set of basic block patterns that can be used as the foundation for infinite design variations. \n \nIn this weekend intensive course\, professional patternmaker Ruby Gertz will guide students through her hybrid method of sloper development that combines flat patternmaking with draping in muslin for the fastest results and most optimal fit. \n \nThis class meets over one weekend\, in person\, on Saturday and Sunday from 10am-2:30pm. The course will run with a minimum of 4 students\, and is capped at 8 students. \n \n$250 workshop fee includes both days\, AND materials. Please bring a bagged lunch. You will want to wear or bring clothing to change into that is form-fitting for best results with measurement taking and draping on the body. \n \nIt is recommended that you have basic to intermediate sewing skills and a basic understanding of sewing patterns before taking this class. \n \nUnfortunately\, the studio is in the basement level of the building and not wheelchair accessible (though I am keeping my eyes open for a space that is fully accessible for future workshops).  \n \nStudents who attend the course will have a first draft drape of a bodice\, skirt\, sleeve\, and pant pattern by the end of the course. Skills and concepts covered include fit\, grainline\, ease\, basic dart manipulation\, seam allowance\, and pattern trueing.
