SUMMARY:Discovery Day - Rock Climbing\, Sustainability & more

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.

SUMMARY:Climate Anxiety Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the first ever CLIMATE ANXIETY DANCE PARTY\, where you are welcome to thrash and groove in all sorts of socially unacceptable ways. The International Panel on Climate Change has told us that we need to hit peak emissions by the year 2025. That’s this year!! Wait\, it gets better. We have 5 years left until we need to halve emissions from 2019 levels. Do these facts give you feelings?! Take a moment to notice that emotion contains the word motion. We are moved by our emotions and can also move and transform them by moving our bodies. It’s true! Stress has tangible effects. We can get stuck in a flight or fight mode. Engaging our bodies activates the parasympathetic nervous system\, allows us to complete the stress response\, and unclench the energy we need to move the world. CLIMATE ANXIETY DANCE PARTY is part experimental dance class\, part somatic therapy\, and part ceremony with a backbeat for world transformation. Come dressed comfortably\, come ready to share a messy smorgasbord of feelings\, and come ready to shake it all loose. \n\n\nLOCATION\nDiscovery Center\,

SUMMARY:Birding Under the Influence: Cycling Across America in Search of Birds and Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a riveting evening with Dorian Anderson to learn about his exciting yearlong adventure as he took a two-wheeled eco-friendly twist on the Big Year project\, where a birdwatcher tries to observe as many species as possible during a calendar year. He ultimately survived subzero temperatures\, drifting snow\, gusting winds\, lightning storms\, mountainous ascents\, dog attacks\, crumbling roads\, and several accidents. By the end of his travels\, he had spotted 618 bird species across 18\,000 miles of biking! \nAnderson will speak about the genesis of his bike-birding project\, provide a thrilling recount of his travels\, highlight the birds he saw\, and reveal how his adventure changed his life. His personality and enthusiasm are infectious\, and his tales of birding\, cycling\, and self-discovery will inspire others to venture into the outdoors\, take note of the birds around them\, and make positive changes in their own lives.
