SUMMARY:Reconnecting with Nature through Journaling
DESCRIPTION:Join Swannanoa Valley WILD! Chapter of NCWF in partnership with the Friends of Fox Creek Park as we welcome Carolina Corona for a nature journaling workshop at one of our favorite places in the whole world! Fox Creek Park in Swannanoa. \nReconnecting with the natural world after a disaster can be difficult. We can hold on to fear and even resentment which block our ability to be at peace with nature. Artist Carolina Corona will guide us through various prompts to help us reconnect. Nature Journaling brings us closer to reconnecting and deepening our connection with nature while sharpening our observation and drawing skills. Nature provides us with peace\, beauty\, and infinite wonder. Reflecting in nature by focusing and recording our observations\, thoughts\, and experiences is a practice that can bring healing in times of crisis. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but REGISTRATION REQUIRED. \nYou will receive the full event details and updates upon successfully submitting your registration to attend HERE.

SUMMARY:Voices Rising: Save our Sounds
DESCRIPTION:Join NCWF Swannanoa Valley WILD! at Highland Farms in Black Mountain for a conversation about one of North Carolina’s most treasured natural resources: our estuarine sounds. Estuaries\, sometimes described as “rainforests of the sea”\, are crucial because they filter pollutants\, provide critical nurseries for fish and shellfish\, as well as economic benefits through recreation\, tourism\, and jobs\, all while supporting immense biodiversity.  Our shallow sounds are in deep trouble for several reasons\, not the least of which is our fisheries management. It’s not too late to recognize and to cherish North Carolina’s natural treasures for the gift they are and undertake-with dogged determination-the effort to restore their abundance\, for humans and the environment. Restoration is not a pipe dream; it is just waiting for us to get on board. \nOur speaker\, Ann Berry Somers\, is a passionate conservationist and a Senior Lecturer Emerita at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Somers serves on the Board of Directors for the N.C. Wildlife Federation. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but REGISTRATION REQUIRED. \nYou will receive the full event details and updates upon successfully submitting your registration to attend HERE.

SUMMARY:Neighborhood Wildflower Seed Spreading
DESCRIPTION:Join NCWF Swannanoa Valley WILD! and Friends of Fox Creek Park alongside friends and neighbors to spread color and beauty as we spread thousands of beautiful and native wildflowers. We’ll spread over 15 species of wildflowers that we gathered this Fall plus a few others purchased from Sow True Seeds. We have enough seeds to dramatically boost the color of our park\, to feed many future generations of native bees and other pollinators and to share with anyone who would like to bring some of that native color home. And of course\, free food for all! \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but REGISTRATION REQUIRED. \nYou will receive the full event details and updates upon successfully submitting your registration to attend HERE.
