Join us to celebrate the sun on the shortest day of the year!
In the Northern Hemisphere the Winter Solstice is the point in December when the North Pole is tilted farthest away from the sun. The sun appears at its lowest point in the sky and we enter into astronomical winter. Cultures all over the world mark this occasion and its sister, the summer solstice.
Join us to celebrate the solstice the Audubon way, by birding! We will offer guided birding two ways: along our trails and seated by the bird feeders. Folk are invited to participate in whichever they prefer.
After birding we will travel a short distance to the woods to have a fire together where Audubon staff will lead a short gratitude practice and we will simultaneously welcome the long night and say goodbye to the short days as we look ahead to increasing light in the days to come. We will provide warm beverages.
This is a time to be joyful together in community. As such, this program is for folks of all ages. Children are welcome with an adult.
