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:Ollie Owl’s Wild Bird Egg Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Kids\, bring your favorite adult and spend the morning with some outdoor playtime at Ollie Owl’s NaturePlayGround. \nChickens aren’t the only birds who lay eggs. In fact\, all birds lay eggs—even owls\, like Ollie. \nVisit Ollie Owl’s NaturePlayGround at ChesLen Preserve for a self-guided\, egg-cellent scavenger hunt. Look for nests and eggs along the trails and the playground space. Peer closely and see if you can figure out what birds they belong to. Enjoy a snack and craft to fit the theme. \nFamilies with young children (ages 18 months to 5 years) are invited to attend these nature discovery events designed to inspire a sense of wonder about the natural world. After all\, today’s children are tomorrow’s conservationists. Families are welcome to stay after the event to enjoy a picnic from home. \nThis event is made possible with generous support from\nThe Kulicke Fund.
