Join us for a workshop or class! Here are a few of our upcoming offerings. Check our calendar often for updates.
Let’s Play Wingspan Together
Playing Wingspan, Tina Dudley
We’re hosting a hands-on introduction to playing a prize-winning, bird-themed board game called Wingspan. If you love birds and you love board games - you’ll love Wingspan! Imagine a game of Monopoly, but instead of using cash for real estate transactions, you are building a wealth of birds on your wildlife preserves by using real-life information about North American birds and their habitats, feeding behaviors, and nesting preferences.
When: Thursday, April 3, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Where: National Wildlife Federation, 11100 Wildlife Center Drive, Reston, VA 20190
Fee: FREE
Fireside Chat: Spring Emergence, a Time to Reflect
Photo Haiku, Esther Peters
In spring we think about the emergence of new life, the return of abundance, and uncertainty - in our climate and in our world. Join us for a discussion about finding joy in nature and finding reassurance in our environment's natural annual cycles. Tom Wood and Judy Gallagher will share stories of spring, and we want to hear your stories too! To get in the mood, select a photo you have taken this spring and add a haiku.
When: Wednesday, April 16, 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Where: Online
Fee: FREE
