06/25/2016 – Weed Warriors – Friends of Sligo Creek at Forest Glen

Saturdays, 8-10am

Join us this morning to take on the invasive plants along the stream and the bike path. This seciton of Sligo Creek has had a steady group of volunteers working to preserve the secret biodiversity of Sligo Creek. Join us and we may just show you something cool. We’ll certainly teach you how to work the invasives that are probably in your yard too. Work continues in this section to remove undesirable plants, restore forest health and enjoy Sligo Creek throughout the year, usually the last Saturday of the month. Workdays occur in all temperatures, but are cancelled in the event of rain. Wear appropriate clothing, bring your own tools or borrow ours.

Please RSVP by noon on Friday.

01/16/2016 – Wheaton Wanders

Take a walk with a naturalist on nearby trails to discover what’s happening in nature around Brookside Nature Center. One day we might learn how to identify trees in winter, another day we’ll go birdwatching. The next week we may learn about animal tracks. You never know what nature will share, so be here each week for all the fun!

Ages 6 to 12
