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?

The land cannot be healed until the people are healed by the land.” – Martin Prechtel\, author  \nNature can be a great healer for the heartaches we all experience along our journey. Join Naila Francis\, founder of This Hallowed Wilderness\, for a writing workshop to explore the restorative power of nature (right around Earth Day). \nTogether\, we will walk through the shady woods and sunny meadows of Hildacy Preserve\, listening to our inner voices\, on this inspiring nature immersion that also invites us into reciprocal relationship with the land and wildlife. \nBring a notebook and a writing instrument for this workshop. (We will also have some available.) \nOur stroll through the woods will be silent\, followed by some meditative time beside the flowing Crum Creek\, and quiet reflection. \nYou will be invited to share whatever you wish in a “sacred circle\,” but this is not required. The intent of this event is to bring people together\, whatever their losses and struggles\, and to connect with others and the natural world at their own comfort level. \nAbout our instructor: Naila is a grief coach and death midwife who companions people on their grief journey through multiple spaces and practices\, including meditations in nature and the written word.   URL:https://wp.natlands.org/event/grief-workshop-hildacy-2026-0423/ LOCATION:Hildacy Preserve\, 1031 Palmers Mill Road\, Media\, Pennsylvania\, 19063 CATEGORIES:general,health and wellness,member perks,nature walks ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wp.natlands.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/10-Hildacy_Ariel-Fierro-5-25-19-20190525_185211.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260425T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260425T113000 DTSTAMP:20260404T090449 CREATED:20260220T193921Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260220T194041Z UID:10001329-1777107600-1777116600@wp.natlands.org SUMMARY:Birds & Belonging: A Walk with Philly Queer Birders DESCRIPTION:Birds\, community\, and spring vibes abound.

In partnership with the Philly Mycology Club and our friends at French Creek State Park\, this immersive program blends natural history\, creativity\, and mindful observation as we explore one of the most fascinating branches of life on Earth. \nDuring this special session\, participants will join volunteer leaders from Philly MycoClub for an informal\, curiosity‑driven walk‑and‑talk through the woods. Along the way\, we’ll slow down to notice the forms\, colors\, and textures of the mushrooms and lichens around us—pausing for nature journaling as we learn. Afterward\, we’ll embark on a group foray\, scattering across the landscape to see what kinds of fungi are popping up and then regrouping to identify\, discuss\, and document our finds. \nWhether you’re enchanted by mushroom ecology\, interested in improving your field observation skills\, or simply excited to sketch and note what you discover\, this relaxed and supportive program offers space for all levels of experience. Together\, we’ll explore why fungi are essential contributors to healthy ecosystems\, how to look for them responsibly\, and how journaling can deepen your relationship with the natural world. \nThis event will consist of an informal walk-and-talk as well as a foray. All 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. We’ll take a moment to introduce the practice of nature journaling for any beginners\, offering prompts and simple techniques to help you observe\, record\, and engage with fungi in meaningful ways. \nMeet at Scott’s Run Lake parking lot (follow the link for direct meeting location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/xLtnSGKFCo7Y6Cj67) \nThis workshop is part of our ongoing Learning Through Art series\, where we partner with nature journaling ambassador Michele Murphy to cultivate creativity\, curiosity\, and connection across our parks and preserves. Wisdom begins in wonder—and we hope this series inspires you to explore\, reflect\, and notice more deeply each time you step outside. \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.
