Experience winter with nature journaling!

Whether you’re reveling in winter or ready to welcome spring, join us at the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship to embrace the shortest month of the year. BRCES has many trails, with something for everyone. On your way to their Educational Pavilion (where we’ll meet), you’ll pass a lovely pond for bird watching, and a large goldenrod meadow along a woodland edge. If you’re curious to hike the trails, you can choose to wander up into a rocky woodland with beautiful moss and lichen covered rock formations, or to wander down along the streams with ironwood and beech trees as your company.  The skunk cabbage may even be in bloom.

• Bring your journal and any supplies you prefer.
• Dress for the weather, bring water, and wear warm, comfortable walking shoes/boots.
• Bring binoculars and/or loupe for observation.
• Bring your own chair for use out in the preserve, if you would like one.
