Magnificent Migration: Follow birds through bloomsbury

As seasons change so do the patterns and rhythms of wildlife. Just look to the skies! On any given day, you are bound to see birds migrating somewhere, but the spring and fall are the busiest by far. Billions of birds are on the move. Where are they going and why? 

In this five-part workshop, we’ll head into the field to learn all about the magnificent migration of birds. Our adventures will require us to slow down and carefully observe the activities of these winged friends. We’ll follow their flight paths and collect clues to help us solve the mystery of their methods. We’ll figure out their favorite sources of food and shelter and will closely examine them to further understand their ways.

Finally, we’ll learn how we can support birds by creating and protecting outdoor spaces where they can thrive. You’ll receive native seeds to plant and engage in fun art projects that will provide birds with happy habitats and needed nourishment. You’ll leave each day with full hearts, dirty hands, and new ways to notice and appreciate little creatures that have special roles in nature. 

Following the workshop, you are invited to make your way down to the Farm yard for Farm Friday 12-6:30. Bring a picnic, play, grab a drink or popsicle, and pick up fresh produce at the farm stand.
