Walk in Reflection Park with the Greenbelt Biota group
Details
I am excited to extend this invitation to my fellow Cemetery Walkers for this Greenbelt Biota Club event! Learn about local natural burial and meet some awesome nature nerds! Event details here, and I'll put them below: https://www.facebook.com/events/869422072586538/
"Reflection Park is on a 40-acre parcel of land, with a section dedicated to a multi-faith natural burial ground. The rest of the park is a wooded area with a trail.
See https://www.reflectionpark.org/ for more information about Reflection Park. Address: 16621 New Hampshire Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20905
Google map location for directions: https://maps.app.goo.gl/C7ShzCjGwymKK5Es7
We will meet at the end of the paved road in the park.
Staff will give us an overview of natural burial and how Reflection Park works, as well as some of the things they are currently developing. Then we will walk in the woods and "botanize" as usual using the 1 mile trail.
See https://www.reflectionpark.org/ for more information about Reflection Park.
>>Warning: No bathroom available on site yet (the closest is at a nearby gas station)
>> Carpooling encouraged.
>> Usual protection for Maryland outings: You know the drill. Water, sunscreen, tick protection should be on your mind.
>> Some of us will most likely bring snacks and sandwiches to eat on the way or at the end.
>>You can leave at anytime (as long as you know how to find your way back to your car by yourself)"
Myrna's note: Apologies for the dormancy of the group over the past several months. Now that the weather is warming up, I hope to schedule approximately one cemetery walk per month as is customary. If any interest is shown for having a walk in March, I'm in!
