Woodcock Walk

American woodcocks (Scolopax minor), inconspicuous in plumage and behavior, can be difficult to spot throughout the year. During their mating season, however, it is possible to witness the males' magnificent courtship display at dusk and dawn. We will visit an area where male woodcocks are currently calling and performing their 'sky dance' aerial displays. This is a member-only event. We will meet at the Blue Ridge Discovery Center and travel by van to the area where woodcocks are currently active. Dress warmly and in layers.

BRIT Reads Book Club: "Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel" by Carl Safina

Do you love to read? Are you passionate about botany, natural history, sustainability and similar topics? Then, you'll love the BRIT Reads Book Club! This informal group meets every other month to discuss a chosen book, in-person and virtually. We begin with a moderator summarizing the book and reviewing its key points. Then there is an opportunity for discussion--all are encouraged to share their perspectives and thoughts. You will leave with new information, new perspectives and new connections to others with shared interests. Don't have time to read the book? No worries! Join us to hear the review and jump in on the discussion! In April, join us to discuss Carl Safina's Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel, which brings forth powerful and illuminating insight into the unique personalities of animals through extraordinary stories of animal joy, grief, jealousy, anger, and love. Registration includes Garden admission for the day. Materials: Bring a copy of the book if you have it, your lunch and a friend! This event is indoors and will proceed as scheduled, rain or shine.
