🌿 ERT Walk and Talk: Hey, I’m Sleeping Here! Winter Survival Techniques for Pollinators and Others📅 Saturday, October 18 | 🕒 9:00 - 10:30 AM
📍 Location: 1301 Redgate Ave, Intersection of Oropax and Redgate
🎟️ Free & open to all ages!
Ever wonder how other species get through the winter? Join us for a free 90-minute Walk & Talk tour along the Elizabeth River Trail led by ecological landscape designer and writer Kelly Morse of 70|30 Design Studio, where we’ll explore 4 main strategies animals, birds, insects, fish, and even plants use to survive the dark time of the year.
This informal walk and talk is perfect for anyone curious about how species in our region have co-evolved with the landscape (and each other!) to stay alive. Along the way, we’ll make stops to see how different microhabitats are used for overwintering, learn new science and fun facts, plus simple ideas for how you can create a space in your own backyard, or with plant containers, that will provide shelter while not breaking the bank. After the walk, the group will have the opportunity to walk back along the trail with Ms. Morse and ask more questions or stay and enjoy the park, play sculpture, meditation maze, and river views!
Expect a relaxed pace, thoughtful conversations, and opportunities to reflect and share. Come ready to walk, chat, and learn something new that will change how you look at green spaces in winter.
🟢 All ages welcome - family-friendly talk. Kids need to be able to walk 0.6 miles one way, a little over 1 mile if returning to the start
🟢 Comfortable shoes + water recommended
🟢 No registration needed—just show up!
