 Bird Walk in the Fields
Sat. Sept. 11, 8:00 AM
Free!
Homefields is a wonderful location for birding, ripe with potential for sightings of unusual species. Join local birder William Young on a walk through the fields in search of avian life. Since fall migration will be picking up at this time, there is a high potential for migrants, including warblers. Come and learn about the birds native to Homefields and Lancaster County.
William Young has been birding since the age of eight, and is a member of the Lancaster County Bird Club. He is editor of The Fledgling, a magazine for and by young birders. He is also working on a book about the famed Lancaster biologist Ted Parker III.

Maggie Mowery is a certified Alignment Yoga instructor, as well as a certified Hatha Yoga instructor. She has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and teaching since 2017.
 From Weeds to Wildlife Habitat
Sat. Oct. 9, 2:30–4:00 PM
$22
Explore how to transform a weedy patch in your piece of the planet into a high-functioning wildlife habitat! This outdoor workshop will help develop the skills in: • Common weed identification • Ecological practices for weed management • Ecological practices to repopulate a space into a biodiverse garden.
Our collaborative planting project will involve editing the herbaceous layer of the existing Miyawaki Plot (rapid forest planting technique) at Homefields, sowing early successional seeds and planting native landscape plugs, grown from volunteer Matt Dilley and KindEarth Growers. Please bring your favorite hand trowel, gloves, water bottle, and sturdy shoes. Participants will receive free native landscape plugs as a thank you for rebuilding biodiversity at Homefields!
