SUMMARY:Mindful Birding at Historic Bethabara Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a peaceful and reflective time at Historic Bethabara Park\, where we will blend birdwatching with mindfulness practices to deepen our connection to nature. Whether you’re an experienced birder or a curious beginner\, this event invites you to slow down\, tune in\, and engage fully with the natural world. \nMindfulness is a practice that involves paying attention to the present moment with compassion and nonjudgement\, and practicing mindfulness in nature is known to decrease stress and increase feelings of interconnection with others. Our theme on this outing will focus on grounding and presence\, so we will learn techniques to cultivate more awareness in the present moment\, such as mindful listening\, mindful walking\, and mindful breathing. While listing bird species is not our focus\, we will be observing them closely and learning about local species and ecology as an anchor to the present moment. \nAll ages and experience levels with birding and mindfulness are welcome\, and families are encouraged to join. You can expect an introduction on mindfulness\, a slow\, guided walk\, time for reflection in nature\, and space to share your experiences with others. \nThe outing is free\, but we do ask that you register to reserve your spot here: https://app.amilia.com/store/en/city-of-winston-salem/api/Activity/Detail?activityId=yege6gp

SUMMARY:Forsyth Audubon Bird Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join Forsyth Audubon for our Monday Bird Walk at Winston Lake Park guided by Tim Miller.  All skill levels are welcome.  We will meet at the north end of the park by the pier located at Winston Lake Park 1344\, Winston Park Dr\, Winston-Salem.  Late March is the end of “weird duck season” so we’ll scan the water for any lingering waterfowl. It also is the start of spring migration. The habitat at the lake is perfect for the vanguards of that northward movement\, Louisiana Waterthrush\, Common Yellowthroat\, and various swallow species. We’ll patrol the water’s edge in hopes of scrounging up some “first of springs”. We’ll keep the walk short and flat\, but things may get a bit muddy!

SUMMARY:Water Quality? Ask the Bugs!
DESCRIPTION:Come have some fun playing in our model of a creek\, complete with leaf packs\, rocks\, snails and dragonflies!   Scared of bugs? Don’t worry\, we’re practicing with fake ones to learn which insects are most sensitive to pollution in the water. We’ll talk about our watershed\, how the storm system works\, and how to be safe in a real creek or stream. By the time we’re finished practicing\, you’ll be ready to try out your “bug eyes” in a real creek or stream near you!   Program presented by Piedmont Triad Regional Council-Stormwater Smart. Recommended for children ages 4-11.
