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:Creek Crawl at Bethania's Black Walnut Bottom
DESCRIPTION:NC Sierra Club Foothills Group will host a fun and informative creek crawl along Bethania’s Black Walnut Bottom Trail\, where creeks feed into Muddy Creek. We will be joined by Danica Heflin of PTRC’s Stormwater SMART.We will meet at the picnic tables beside the Bethania visitor center for an overview of the creeks of Wachovia. We will then hike the Black Walnut Bottom Trail and see what makes a healthy creek\, explore the area bordering the creek\, and consider why the Moravians made their second settlement here.\n \nAlong the hike\, we will search a creek for macro-invertebrates whose presence will tell us about the water quality. In water quality\, “buggy is better.” Anyone wishing to join in this activity must have boots or water footwear and expect wet and muddy conditions. Towels and spare socks and shoes are recommended. The trail is 1.4 miles in length and rated easy by the Foothills Group.\nMore details of the area can be found at http://townofbethania.org/trails/black-walnut-bottom-trail/. Register by sending an email to Henry Fansler at henryfansler@windstream.net or 336-473-0283. Note that the Sierra Club requires all outing participants to sign a standard waiver. Participants under 18 must be with a parent or guardian.\nMeet in the parking lot for the Bethania Visitors Center\, 5393 Ham Horton Lane (near the intersection of Bethania Road and Main Street). MAP\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Moonlight Paddle with YRK at Salem Lake
DESCRIPTION:Join the Yadkin Riverkeeper staff at Salem Lake from 5pm to 9pm for a little paddling in the moonlight. Weather permitting\, the moon will rise at 4:30p and the sun will set at 7:40p. While the moon won’t be full\, it will have 90% luminance to make paddling in the evening a beautifully memorable experience. Twilight is an excellent time to catch nature’s nightshift start to stir. Gliding from the seat of a canoe or kayak gives you a vantage point that is more open than woods. Paddlers are encouraged to bring their own boats. Yadkin Riverkeeper will have a limited number of boats if you do not have your own. **Limited spots left! At this time\, our boats have all been spoken for. Paddlers signing up must bring their own boats. \n  \nPlease register here! https://www.yadkinriverkeeper.org/events/2026/3/29/creek-week-moonlight-paddle
