Details at a glance: In-person workshop Huntley Meadows Park
October 28th, 6:45am to 10:45am | $10
Huntley Meadows Park has some of the best wildlife watching in the Washington metropolitan area. The wildlife sanctuary park is home to a majestic forests, wildflower-speckled meadows, serenading frogs, turtles, beavers, vast wetlands bursting with life and more. Walk with us in the early morning light along the wetland boardwalk that curves through a 500-acre marsh filled with “the most vibrant ecosystem in the region”. Your sense will be awakened as you walk along the trails and boardwalk as you see interesting birds, hear serenading frogs, touch the tree bark, and smell the wetlands and forests (sorry just four senses on this walk, no tasting the mushrooms or the licking frogs, lol). But seriously, seeing the earth and it creatures awaken before your eyes can be transformative.
The top 5 topics covered during this workshop:
1 - Your senses will be awakened as you walk along the trails and boardwalk.
2 - Listen for pileated woodpeckers or try to sneak up on serenading frogs.
3 - Watch for signs of river otters, muskrats, beavers and more.
4 - Look for mushrooms, leaves and plants and appreciate their place in this ecosystem.
5 - Learn some new fun facts regarding the bird behaviors.
You will need to bring your own camera and lenses.
Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the time of year and weather.
