For ages 12 and up. Space is limited – participants must be comfortable walking along wooded trails. Please bring a blanket or chair to sit on if you would like. Leave your four-legged friends at home. Rain date: Thursday, 9/25.

Song for Autumn: A Nature Poetry Share
2025-09-28 13:00 - 15:30 | Bryn Coed Preserve, Flint Road, Chester Springs, Pennsylvania, 19425
Don’t you imagine the leaves dream now
how comfortable it will be to touch
the earth instead of the
nothingness of the air and the endless
freshets of wind? And don’t you think
the trees, especially those with
mossy hollows, are beginning to look for
the birds that will come—six, a dozen—to sleep
inside their bodies? And don’t you hear
the goldenrod whispering goodbye,
the everlasting being crowned with the first
tuffets of snow? The pond
stiffens and the white field over which
the fox runs so quickly brings out
its long blue shadows. The wind wags
its many tails. And in the evening
the piled firewood shifts a little
longing to be on its way.
~ Mary Oliver
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 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.
Join us at this special event beneath the great white oak to come together with an open share of nature-inspired poems. Share your own poems, the poems of others you appreciate, or simply to listen.
This event will be one for conversation and connection, not critique; it is not intended as a workshop. Participants may join a short hike around the preserve after the poetry reading.

Self-Led Biodiversity Bashes
2025-09-29 | Pennsylvania
Initiate your own exploration of the great outdoors at one of our preserves, open from dawn to dusk. Some preserves are only open six days a week (one day reserved for rest; please check the website before you visit).
Once you upload your photo discovery to iNaturalist, it will automatically appear in our “project,” which allows Natural Lands staff, volunteers, and scientists to see what species are present at our preserved open spaces. This will further educate future land management practices, and augment our knowledge of the rich biodiversity living at these special places.
This initiative will last throughout the month of September, but that doesn’t mean community science comes to an end. Any time you are visiting our preserves, you are welcome to take as many photographs as you would like and submit them to iNaturalist.
We ask that you do not harm any of the flora, fauna, or funga that you encounter or study on these Biodiversity Bashes. Please practice the Leave No Trace policy and only take photos as souvenirs. We also ask that you remain on-trail at all times, and do not enter sensitive habitat areas.
