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:YRK and Town of Lewisville Paddle - CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:**EVENT IS CANCELED DUE TO WEATHER** \nCome enjoy an early paddle on the Yadkin River with the Yadkin Riverkeeper and hosted by the Town of Lewisville. The section from Old 421 to Huntsville access is so close and yet feels so far away. Paddling it in the early spring is a great way to see further into the woods before the foliage cloaks the landscape. This easy paddling will have a few quick spots but leaves much time to enjoy the natural area so close to Winston-Salem and Lewisville. We will check in at the Park at Old 421 at 1 pm and unload any gear that we are taking on the river. After shuttling cars to the take out\, we’ll hop on the water. After we have completed the section we will load up and make sure paddlers get to their cars while basking in the enjoyment of another great day on the water. Paddlers are encouraged to bring their own boats. We will have a limited number of boats to use if you do not have your own.   Please sign up here! https://www.yadkinriverkeeper.org/events/2026/3/28/yrk-lewisville-paddle \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Creek Crawl at Bethania's Black Walnut Bottom

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.

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
