Hosted by White Pine Programs – Guided Naturalist Walk
2021-04-17 10:00 - 12:00 UTC | Piscassic Greenway
Join White Pine Programs Educator & Naturalist Ryan Busby for an exploration of Piscassic Greenway as he shares techniques for awakening your senses to the living landscape. Wildlife tracking, bird language, pattern recognition and natural movement are just some of the topics that could come up on the walk. When we begin to see the subtle patterns and behaviors on our landscapes as clues, we can unlock the mysteries of nature and engage fully as resourceful and resilient people and communities. Our ancestors learned these skills at an early age. We can regain them and deepen our connection to the world around us. This event is for adults and children 10+ years of age.
