SUMMARY:Wild Materials: Transforming Found Objects into Art - rescheduled
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this event has been rescheduled for Saturday\, May 23\, 1:00 – 4:00 PM. \nSticks\, stones\, shells\, seeds\, feathers\, bark\, river glass\, found objects\, fibers\, paint… \nUsing a playful mix of natural materials and unexpected treasures\, we’ll come together to create art. A selection of recycled wooden cigar boxes will be provided for you to choose from and transform. You don’t need to bring anything—however\, you’re welcome to bring small personal objects if you’d like to incorporate them into your piece. \nEach participant will select a cigar box that will become the stage for imagination and playful making. Our instructor\, Lauren J. Silver\, will open the workshop with a brief introduction to her found-object artmaking practice. Together\, we’ll discuss our intentions for the workshop\, then settle into plenty of time to relax\, experiment\, have fun\, and create side by side. \nThis workshop is beginner-friendly\, and no prior art or assemblage experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore. \nPlease note: we uphold “Leave No Trace” practices at our preserves\, meaning we take only memories with us. This policy will remain in place during the workshop. We encourage participants to bring found objects from home\, as no materials will be collected from the preserve during the event. \nAbout the instructor: Lauren J. Silver is a Philadelphia-based\, mixed-medium artist and critical childhood studies educator. Her art draws upon found and reclaimed objects and assemblage approaches using fragments\, fibers\, scraps\, gifts from nature\, and discarded objects—mending them into something beautiful and whole. Lauren has been showing her art since 2022 across the Philadelphia region.

SUMMARY:Poetry Circle & Connect: The Peace of Wild Things
DESCRIPTION:For as long as there has existed the written word\, people have written about the natural world. To explore their connection with and deepen their understanding of it. To express an appreciation for its beauty and to raise awareness about issues that threaten it. To reflect on their place within the larger ecosystem that includes us all. \nJoin us on the overlook hill at ChesLen Preserve (weather permitting) to celebrate National Poetry Month with an open share of nature-inspired poems. Share your own poems\, the poems of others you appreciate\, or simply listen. \nThis event will be one for conversation and connection\, not critique; it is not intended as a workshop. \nWe’ll gather at the Lenfest Center parking lot before walking to our space. \nWhen despair for the world grows in me\nand I wake in the night at the least sound\nin fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be\,\nI go and lie down where the wood drake\nrests in his beauty on the water\, and the great heron feeds.\nI come into the peace of wild things\nwho do not tax their lives with forethought\nof grief. I come into the presence of still water.\nAnd I feel above me the day-blind stars\nwaiting with their light. For a time\nI rest in the grace of the world\, and am free. \n– Wendell Berry

SUMMARY:Hepatica Hike - SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:This event is sold out. Please join us at a future event. \nJoin event leaders on this off-trail exploration of a rarely visited section of the preserve. We’ll search the woods along Mine Run (a tributary of French Creek) to look for round-lobed hepatica\, one of the earliest-blooming spring ephemeral wildflowers. Boulder-hop through Deep Woods to find other harbingers of spring like wood anemone\, rue anemone\, and early violets. \nThis part of the preserve has mature forest with diabase rock outcroppings. Though it looks pristine today\, it has a long history of human use\, including small quarry pits used to source cobblestones. A long-gone nearby railroad line (the Warwick branch of the Wilmington & Northern Railroad\, once known as the Boar’s Back\, today part of the Horse-Shoe Trail) is lingering evidence of this industrial period that extended into the early 20th century. \nCan’t attend this one? Check out more dates and locations in our Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Wander series below: \n\nFriday\, April 10\, 1:00-2:30pm – Stoneleigh: a natural garden (Villanova\, PA) \nSunday\, April 12\, 1:00-3:30pm – Crow’s Nest Preserve (Elverson\, PA) \nSaturday\, April 18\, 9:00-11:30am – Sadsbury Woods Preserve (Coatesville\, PA) \nFriday\, May 1\, 10:00am-12:00pm – Saunders Woods Preserve (Gladwyne\, PA) \nSaturday\, May 2\, 10:00am-12:00pm – Mariton Wildlife Sanctuary (Easton\, PA) \nSaturday\, May 9\, 9:00-11:30am – Sadsbury Woods Preserve (Coatesville\, PA)

SUMMARY:The Nature Record with Schuylkill Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Join our partners at Schuylkill Nature Center for Environmental Education for their unique event hosting The Nature Record—the first comprehensive\, independent\, evidence-based assessment of how nature is doing in the United States and how changes in nature are shaping our lives\, communities\, and economy. \nThe public comment period for The Nature Record Assessment is open. Members of the public are invited to review the assessment and submit comments to help improve its clarity\, accuracy\, and usefulness. \nThis free\, public event will help shape the Assessment\, and will include information sharing\, Q&A sessions\, and collaborative round table discussions. \nCome talk with our authors\, learn about the report\, and share your thoughts. Add your voice to a public conversation with the authors of The Nature Record Assessment. \nNatural Lands’ Events Coordinator\, Tianna Godsey\, will share a reading of one of her nature-themed poems\, “decomposition of a tree\,” after the presentation and before participation sessions. \n– \nThis event is in partnership with Accessing Urban Nature Initiative and The Nature Record.\nAccessing Urban Nature Initiative (AUNI) connects Philadelphia residents with the city’s hidden wildlife through a network of motion-triggered trail cameras in local green spaces. Partnering with community groups\, parks\, and wildlife refuges\, AUNI captures captivating images of urban animals to inspire curiosity\, outdoor exploration\, and environmental stewardship. As an ongoing research study\, AUNI helps us understand how wildlife thrives in the city\, guiding efforts to protect urban nature and biodiversity for generations to come. \nThe Nature Record is the first comprehensive\, independent\, evidence-based assessment of how nature is doing in the United States and how changes in nature are shaping our lives\, communities\, and economy. \nFrom March 2 through May 31\, anyone can review the draft Assessment and share input through a public comment portal\, or at virtual or in-person engagement events listed on the website. \nThe Nature Record examines the status\, trends and future of nature in the United States\, and how changes in nature are shaping our lives\, communities\, and economy. Nature influences the air we breathe\, the water we drink\, the homes we build\, the stability of our climate\, the health of our brains and bodies\, and the strength of our local economies. Even for those who don’t focus on environmental issues every day\, these connections are constant and deeply woven into daily life. \nThe Nature Record is an independent team of nearly 200 leading scientists\, researchers\, experts\, and practitioners. Their work is rooted in science\, guided by communities\, and enriched by public participation. The Nature Record is creating a clear\, accessible picture of nature across the nation and the role it plays in everything from local economies to public health and community resilience.

As part of our Learning through Art series\, this month’s session will focus on traditional bookbinding and the history of nature journaling. From cover to cover\, we will make nature journals ready to be filled with your unique observations and revelations. \nThis workshop is part of an ongoing series where we will be partnering with a nature journaling ambassador to explore and discover this mindful practice. Wisdom begins in wonder\, and we hope this series will inspire you to cultivate curiosity and creativity as you explore and connect with the parks and natural lands around us. \nMeet at the French Creek State Park’s Playground Pavilion (follow the link: 843 Park Road\, Elverson\, PA 19520). \nFrench Creek State Park is located within the Schuylkill Highlands Conservation Landscape\, a place-based partnership administered by Natural Lands and funded in part by a grant from the Community Conservation Partnerships Program under the administration of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources\, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation.
