SUMMARY:Montezuma Field Trip (CLOSED)
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this program is closed.\nAs fall transitions towards winter\, a grand spectacle of bird migration is unfolding and the Montezuma Wetlands Complex is one of the best places in North America to see it. As we tour the most active parts of Montezuma to watch geese\, ducks\, shorebirds\, and more\, we’ll discover the stories of how they can travel so far. We’ll also learn how the history of human interactions with the wetlands have given birds a wing up. \nMore details: This program is designed for adults. Space is limited. Online pre-registration is required. This program will involve traveling to various sites by car. We will mostly be doing stationary birding and a radio tour by car along the wildlife drive. We may visit an observation tower that includes stairs. Meet at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge visitor center at 10 am. Binoculars will be provided for those that need them. Dress warmly.

SUMMARY:Forest Therapy Walk (CLOSED)
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this program is closed.\nExperience nature in a unique way on a guided Forest Therapy Walk throughout Baltimore Woods! Forest Therapy\, also known as “forest bathing\,” stems from a Japanese practice known as Shinrin Yoku. Led by June Leo-Randazzo\, a Certified ANFT Forest Therapy Guide\, this program invites participants to immerse themselves in nature and open their senses to the surroundings of the forest. \nExtensive scientific research has found forest therapy walks to have numerous physical health benefits including activation of the ‘rest and restore’ parasympathetic nervous system\, decreases to anxiety and depression\, improving creativity\, and much more. Your stress will peel away as your nervous system relaxes and you simply experience the medicine of the forest. \nDuring this slow\, mindful\, and quiet walk\, June will provide a series of relaxing invitations to engage all your senses\, release your mind chatter\, and deepen connections to nature\, allowing you to connect with yourself and others through nature in new ways. You will have opportunities throughout for both individual reflection and to come together as a group to listen and share what we are noticing. The 2.5 hour walk ends with a tea ceremony with wildcrafted tea foraged from the area and snacks. \nRegistration for this program closes at 3pm on Wednesday\, October 30. \nMore details: This walk is designed for ages 14 and up. Space is limited. Pre-registration is required. You will be notified ahead of the program on where to park and meet on the day of the walk. The walk will take place if it rains. In case cancellation is necessary due to dangerous conditions\, you will be notified by email the morning of the walk.

SUMMARY:November Stewardship Work Day (Saturday):  Invasive Species Management
DESCRIPTION:At our Saturday Stewardship Work Day in November\, we will be focusing on invasive species management. Fall is the perfect time to work on invasive species management. Nonnative shrubs can be identified year round and control in fall and winter is just as effective as in spring. Today\, we will be working in a patch of nonnative shrubs that we have worked to control on and off over the past few years. This project will clean up new plants that have come in since last year and expand the area where we have removed these plants as well as seeding native species to make the work more long lasting. We will discuss invasive plant identification\, multi year planning of invasive control projects\, and how to implement them. \nClick to sign up and volunteer on this Saturday work day!\nMore details: Participants should wear long pants\, close-toed shoes\, work gloves\, bring an appropriate amount of water\, and be prepared to work. Work days can be somewhat strenuous at times. Heavy rain will postpone the work day. These volunteer projects are for ages 14 and up. Participants 14-18 years old must be accompanied by an adult. Participants should plan to meet the Land Steward in the main parking lot at the start of the work day.

SUMMARY:Campfire Pumpkins
DESCRIPTION:Cooking over a fire connects us with our ancestors in a very tasty way! Using traditional campfire cooking methods like roasting\, coal stacking\, and cast iron we’ll cook up some pumpkins just like people would have done 250 years ago. While the pumpkins are roasting\, we’ll learn about the history of Marcellus and Baltimore Woods\, ponder how life was different back then\, and how we can still see evidence of their lifestyles on the landscape today. Then\, we’ll eat! \nRegistration for this program has closed.\nMore details: This program is designed for ages 5 and up. Space is limited. Online pre-registration is required. This program will take place outside of our log cabin\, on flat grass with benches and picnic tables.

SUMMARY:Identifying Winter Weeds
DESCRIPTION:Plant identification can be tricky in the winter! While many focus on the woody plants like trees and shrubs\, a shocking diversity of herbaceous plants can be confidently recognized throughout the colder seasons. Winter plant ID is one part knowledge\, one part forensics\, and one part imagination\, but with these skills\, you can impress your friends by identifying plants and plant remains even under deep snow. \nRegistration for this program has closed.\nMore details: This program is designed for adults. Space is limited. Online pre-registration is required. This program will follow Griffiths Trail\, a difficult trail which is generally flat but can be muddy or icy depending on the temperature and conditions. One resting bench is available along our ½ mile route.

SUMMARY:Family Forest Therapy Walk
DESCRIPTION:Come join us for a nature immersion experience for the whole family where everyday stresses are released. You can experience fun ways to be with nature with your children on a guided Forest Therapy/Shinrin Yoku Walk led by June Leo-Randazzo\, a Certified ANFT Forest Therapy Guide. \nForest Therapy is a chance to be with nature\, perhaps in a different way then you are used to. Extensive scientific research has found Forest Therapy Walks to have numerous physical health benefits including activation of the ‘rest and restore’ parasympathetic nervous system\, decreases to anxiety and depression\, lowering blood pressure\, improving creativity and focus\, and much more. The guide will offer you and your children invitations to help you to be more aware of your senses to slow down and connect with the wonders of nature. There is no right or wrong way to participate in the invitations through this playful and interactive experience. \nAs you enjoy time with your family and others in the forest\, you will have a chance to share with others what you are noticing in any way you would like to (words\, movement\, gestures and even silence). During our times of sharing\, we will all practice listening with our full attention to whomever is sharing (no worries if young children need to move around\, as all are welcome). \nThe walk ends with a tea ceremony with wildcrafted tea foraged from the area\, snacks and hot cocoa for the children. We have a fireplace available if needed where we may start and end this walk. The rest of the walk we will wander away into the surrounding forest area. If it is very cold\, we can return to the fire for our sharing times. You are also free to return if you need to warm up. If you are an adult accompanying a child on a Forest Therapy Walk\, you are encouraged to allow yourself to also take part in the program\, find your inner child\, and trust that everyone will receive what they need in the experience. \nRegistration for this program has closed.\nMore details: This walk is for ages 5 and up. Space is limited. Online pre-registration is required. All children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. You will be sent information the night prior to the walk on where to park and meet on the day of the walk. The walk will take place in rain or snow. In case cancellation is necessary due to dangerous conditions\, you will be notified morning of the walk.

SUMMARY:Sketching Evergreens
DESCRIPTION:As the seasons change and many trees lose their leaves\, the shapes of evergreens strongly contrast with the surrounding landscape. This is a great time to compare the structure of trees in various habitats by sketching them. In this program\, we will explore the trails\, draw trees and perhaps a few evergreen ferns that we meet along the way\, and learn how field sketching can help to deepen our observation skills. \nThis program is designed for adults.\nPlease note that this program will involve a brief hike on moderately hilly terrain. Drawing materials will be provided\, including waterproof sketching paper if necessary. Please dress for the weather and bring a portable camp chair if you have one. Consider wearing gloves that are warm while also allowing you to hold a pencil. \nLearn evergreen sketching techniques at Baltimore Woods!
