Biking and Birding

May 29, 2022 @ 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Ever wondered what birds you are hearing while riding your bike? Bikeways are great opportunity to experience more forest types and ecosystems in a much shorter period of time than we could accomplish by walking. And that's great for hearing and seeing a wide variety of birds, especially when we get out past more developed areas.  Kathryn leads a birding and naturalist bicycle tour along one of her favorite sections of the Silver Comet Trail.

June 18, 2022 @ 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm

We loved our last naturalist bike ride so much we're offering another naturalist and birding ride - but this time on a different section of the Silver Comet Trail. Bikeways are a great way to experience more types of forest character and hear more songbirds in a shorter period of time than walking.

Walking Stick Workshop, South Bend Park

June 25, 2022 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm

  Why not turn pesky invasive Privet stems into useful walking sticks! That's what long-time Eco-A walker and photographer Tony Thaxton decided to do with the privet he was removing from his yard. "I made my first walking stick about twelve years ago after a newly planted maple tree died in our front yard -- good news, the maple tree came back from the roots. Next, I turned to the privet hedges in our front yard. Within a few years…
