SUMMARY:Nature as Healer: A (Grief) Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“The people cannot be healed until the land is healed. The land cannot be healed until the people are healed by the land.” – Martin Prechtel\, author  \nNature can be a great healer for the heartaches we all experience along our journey. Join Naila Francis\, founder of This Hallowed Wilderness\, for a writing workshop to explore the restorative power of nature (right around Earth Day). \nTogether\, we will walk through the shady woods and sunny meadows of Hildacy Preserve\, listening to our inner voices\, on this inspiring nature immersion that also invites us into reciprocal relationship with the land and wildlife. \nBring a notebook and a writing instrument for this workshop. (We will also have some available.) \nOur stroll through the woods will be silent\, followed by some meditative time beside the flowing Crum Creek\, and quiet reflection. \nYou will be invited to share whatever you wish in a “sacred circle\,” but this is not required. The intent of this event is to bring people together\, whatever their losses and struggles\, and to connect with others and the natural world at their own comfort level. \nAbout our instructor: Naila is a grief coach and death midwife who companions people on their grief journey through multiple spaces and practices\, including meditations in nature and the written word.

SUMMARY:Restoring Habitat
DESCRIPTION:You know that old adage “let nature take its course”? We disagree. Natural areas need help to become—and remain—places where people\, plants\, and wildlife can thrive. That’s why a third of our staff are committed to caring for our properties. \nHave you ever wondered what those boxes mounted on posts or why we consider some plants to be invasive but not others? Join Preserve Manager Mike Coll for a stroll around the property to learn about how Natural Lands is growing forests\, filtering water\, controlling invasives\, feeding wildlife\, and sowing seeds.
