Along the way, we will stop to observe some of the fall blooming wildflowers such as goldenrods & bonesets and listen for birds as they fly in to roost for the night (or migrate overhead!). We will walk for 3-4 miles at a moderate pace on a flat, level surface with no elevation gain/loss.

Please register through the DCNR Calendar of Events: Nature Journaling by Hammock - DCNR Calendar of Events
We'll begin by trying out nature journaling techniques while still on the ground, then learn how to hang up our hammocks for maximum safety and comfort. The second half of the session is yours to swing, observe, sketch, draw, paint, or write!
All hammocking equipment and nature journaling materials will be provided. No art skills required--nature journaling is about paying attention, not pretty pictures!
This event will meet at the Haycock Boat Launch: https://maps.app.goo.gl/8SAdywvw34CQfS6b7. Follow the one-way road past the boat ramp and into the lower parking tier, then continue along that tier to park as far away from the ramp as possible--you'll see us in the evergreen grove!
