More About Nature Lecture Series at Cool Creek Park
These lectures will provide in-depth education into the seasonally related topics below, led by our naturalist staff through a PowerPoint program. The programs are geared toward young adults and adults and intended to expand our citizens knowledge of the life and passive recreation opportunities in Hamilton County and our state!
SCHEDULE
Tuesday, January 10: The Basics of “Birding”
Winter is a great time to pick up the hobby of birdwatching. Learn about the basics of watching birds, the equipment needed, the places to look for them, and how to hone your observation skills!
Tuesday, February 7: How Plants were Used to End Slavery
As Black History month begins, we will look at how native plants were used to fight the practice of slavery. “Freeman Sugar,” made from maple trees, pokeweed, and other plants, were used by abolitionists to fight the practice of enslavement, pull profits away from goods produced by enslaved people, and create public displays of protest. Westfield’s history as a Quaker-settlement town and its involvement in the Underground Railroad will also be shared.
