He has sung with the Adam Rener Schola Cantorum in Strasbourg\, France and with the Gospel Choir of Wittenberg in Nairobi\, Kenya.   \nFlutist Melissa Freilich and he are the duo Doppelflöte. Since 1998 they have performed together in numerous communities in the Eastern United States\, including Longwood Gardens\, and internationally in Sweden and Germany.  \nMr. Ryan holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in piano and a Master of Arts degree in organ from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). His teachers included James Staples\, Carol Teti\, James Dearing and James Jordan.  \nHe has composed or arranged over 300 works and is published by Lorenz\, Oregon Catholic Press\, St James Music Press\, Hal Leonard and Leupold Editions.

SUMMARY:Beneficial Beavers: Learning through Art
DESCRIPTION:Happy International Beaver Day! Join us for our second nature journaling session in our Learning Through Art series in partnership with French Creek State Park\, where we’ll be shining a spotlight on North America’s largest rodent. Discover the remarkable world of beavers through hands‑on art and nature exploration. \nThis creative program blends natural history and guided observation to help us understand why beavers are essential ecosystem engineers. Participants will enjoy a relaxed\, supportive environment as they nature journal their way through learning about these fascinating mammals and the habitats they transform. \nAll you need to bring is a notebook or pad of paper\, a pencil or pen (materials will also be provided if you don’t have them)\, and your curiosity. Together we’ll discuss what nature journaling is and how to get started for any beginners\, as well as beaver Q&A as we watch for them at Hopewell Lake and linger into the twilight. \nThis workshop is part of an ongoing series where we will be partnering with a nature journaling ambassador\, Michele Murphy\, 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 French Creek State Park near Hopewell Lake (follow the link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/paidLZevCi4TYQVD7) \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.

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.

SUMMARY:Mantis Meadow Scavenger Hunt
DESCRIPTION:Not all mantises are welcome…  \nMany people are surprised to learn that the praying mantises they spot in their gardens might not be native—and that some invasive species can pose serious threats to local wildlife\, even preying on hummingbirds.  \nJoin us for a fun\, hands-on scavenger hunt in the meadow to search for and remove invasive mantis egg cases (ootheca)\, which are distinct from those of native mantises. Along the way\, you’ll learn how to tell the difference between species and help protect the balance of our local ecosystems.  \nAll collected egg cases will be donated to our partners at Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research\, where they’ll help feed recovering baby birds this spring and summer—turning an invasive problem into a nurturing solution.  \nHelp native wildlife and support bird rehab with your efforts.  \n
