SUMMARY:Discovery Day - Rock Climbing\, Sustainability & more
DESCRIPTION:Discovery Days are monthly events at the Discovery Center that are free and open to the public. These events are co-hosted by Philadelphia Outward Bound School (POBS) and Audubon Mid-Atlantic (AMA). Each month provides opportunities for community members to experience different adventures and activities related to the outdoors. Come visit! \nIn March\, POBS will be offering free rock climbing at our indoor rock wall. The activity is suitable for participants of any experience level\, including beginners\, ages 8 and up. POBS will provide equipment and instruction. Four climbing sessions will be offered over the course of the day on a first come\, first serve basis. Participants must fill out a risk and liability waiver in order to participate. Children and youth must be accompanied by an adult age 18 or older. \nAudubon Mid-Atlantic will be hosting an Environmental Resource Fair from 11-3pm\, and the launch of our Resource Library from 2-3:30pm! \nCheck out the resource fair near the Parking Lot (or in the great hall if it rains) and receive resources from organizations that are building sustainable\, healthy communities and ecosystems. Come to Audubon’s table around 1:30pm to listen about our sustainability work! We are also partnering with Energy Coordinating Agency who will provide a PGW Conservation Workshop with DIY kits from 11:30-1pm. Click the link to sign up! \nWalk up the trail to our Lobby to celebrate the launch of our brand new Resource Library! It will have books for people of all ages\, covering the topics of environmental justice\, birds\, and general nature. This event will include giveaways and light refreshments. Click the link to register. \nThe Discovery Center Team is hosting a Volunteer Work Day from 10-1pm! We will work to remove and replace our reservoir fence! Built when the Strawberry Mansion Reservoir was decommissioned in the 1970s\, this chain-link fence will now be replaced with a less obtrusive cable fence. Volunteers will be helping to cut\, remove\, and dispose of sections of fencing\, and then installing the new low visibility cables. Brief orientation sessions will take place at the top of the hour from 10 am-1 pm. Please wear work shoes or boots and long sleeves. Gloves and safety equipment will be provided.

SUMMARY:Aquatic Saturday at the Discovery Center - Freshwater Mussels!
DESCRIPTION:The Strawberry Mansion Lake has been here for decades\, let’s see what’s inside! Join Audubon Mid-Atlantic in observing and documenting this aquatic ecosystem as the seasons change. For February 7th\, we are joined by Fairmount Water Works and will take a look at our freshwater mussels that are nursing in the lake. We will learn how to measure them for data\, and conclude with sampling the water to view and identify our microscopic organisms. We’ll also have materials for optional watercolor painting with lake water. RSVP down below to secure your spot. \nThroughout the year\, you can try our rotating activities of exploring microorganisms and macroinvertebrate sampling during warmer weather. This community science data will be collected and utilized for future management. Kid-friendly activities are available like using children binoculars\, scavenger hunts\, arts and crafts (adult supervision is needed). Lastly\, take a walk on our trail and waterwalk to learn more about our conservation projects! Reach out to audubon@discoveryphila.org if you have any questions. \nClick this link to register your spot! https://tickets.audubon.org/events/37890d8b-579c-f7fa-6c53-f691f0bab1fa
