SUMMARY:Splish Splash!
DESCRIPTION:Come out and splash in Brandywine Creek! Squish in the mud\, swish your toes in the water\, and splash your friends. Kids and adults are invited to play in the stream\, relax\, and enjoy the last days of summer.  \nWhile it might just seem like child’s play\, this type of unstructured exploration of the natural world is important to kids’ physical\, mental\, and emotional development. What’s more\, we believe that children who play in nature grow up to be adults who protect it.  \nThis event is made possible with generous support from    \nThe Kulicke Fund.

SUMMARY:Murmuration & Migrations: Spring Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the rhythms of spring as we explore the magic of birds on the move. During this guided walk led by our skilled Force of Nature volunteers\, we’ll watch for migrating species\, observe local birds as they prepare for nesting season\, and take in the flutter of winged life returning to the landscape. \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. \nCan’t attend this one?
