SUMMARY:Balsam Mountain Stewards: Balsam’s Nature Notebook
DESCRIPTION:Get your Spring on as we kick-off our participation in the National Phenology Network’s “Nature’s Notebook” program. What is phenology\, you may ask? It is “nature’s calendar – when cherry trees bloom\, when a robin builds its nest and when leaves turn color in the fall” (usanpn.org). When volunteers across the country join forces to track “nature’s calendar\,” it helps scientists learn a great deal about ecology and climate change. Find out how you can be part of this cool citizen science project – and deepen your connection to life on the Mountain at the same time. Meet at the Nature Center.

SUMMARY:Spring Ephemerals Hike and Sketch
DESCRIPTION:For a short time in spring\, certain wildflowers only bloom and grow in a 2–3-week period to take advantage of early spring light before the big trees leaf out. These flowers are known as Spring Ephemerals. Come Join Naturalist Gina Patton to meet these special flowers and capture them in delightful botanical sketches. The sketching portion will be after the hike at the Nature Center and is optional. Meet at the Nature Center. RSVP required.
