SUMMARY:An Evening Walk
DESCRIPTION:We will walk to a couple of the ponds at sunset to see what we might see … and hear. Are any frogs calling? Spring is the best time\, but we may hear cricket frogs and possibly leopard frogs calling. We will pick a spot along the bank and stay very quiet for about 3 minutes to listen for calls. We may also see spiders spinning their webs and we might hear owls. \nPlease email events@friendsofscnp.org if planning to attend. Bring a FLASHLIGHT and water – and think about insect repellent before we get started. \nMeet in the parking lot. Weather Underground predicts it will still be 91F at 8pm\, with a “feels like” of 96.

SUMMARY:Third Saturday Volunteers
DESCRIPTION:Third Saturday Volunteers will turn our attention this month to trail maintenance. This is an important role the Friends of Sheri Capehart Nature Preserve shoulders to permit safe access for us to enjoy the preserve. \nErosion along footpaths is an ongoing problem. You may have noticed some anti-erosion “bumps” placed along selected trails. These are some of the effective techniques we have learned from our partners at the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. We’ll share the knowledge Saturday. \nMeet\, as usual\, at the parking lot at 9 a.m. Volunteer Rudy Arnold\, our trail boss\, will lead our work this morning. Be sure to bring insect repellant\, water and gloves. Equipment will be provided. \nThe next Third Saturday Volunteer Event will be on Nov. 15.

SUMMARY:Spiders in the Park! (Via ZOOM)
DESCRIPTION:Meghan Cassidy will give us a foundation of basic info about spiders and other arachnids\, most of whom are misunderstood\, and almost all feared. The presentation will include some basic taxonomy\, with a touch of ecology & natural history.  Meghan will discuss and showcase spiders found in Texas that you may come across while out in Texas nature. She will also offer some strategies to help with identifying spiders. Meghan has many detailed spider photos to show\, and she will provide some tips for using iNaturalist as a learning resource for these amazing animals! \nBio:\nMeghan is a data analyst by day\, and a naturalist & photographer by night! As a strong advocate for everything in class arachnida\, Meghan has been conducting nature education and outreach with a focus on spiders for 6 years\, and has been studying them for fun for over 9 years! Many of her photos have been contributed to scientific publications and books\, such as a recent publication from Texas A&M press titled “Mindfulness in Texas Nature” by local herpetologist Michael Smith\, and the highly recommended field guide “Spiders of North America” by Sarah Rose.

SUMMARY:Great Backyard Bird Count
DESCRIPTION:New Date!!! \nOn Sunday\, February 15 the Friends of Sheri Capehart Nature Preserve will host its 19th Great Backyard Bird Count.  The annual census brings together hundreds of thousands of environmentalists worldwide to take an avian health-care snapshot. How are our birds faring? \nThe final tally at Sheri Capehart last year was 205 birds counted and 41 different species\, above average over the 18 years. \nThe count is taken 8-10 a.m. Meet in the parking lot. All skill levels are welcome. Bring your cameras and binoculars. Download the Merlin app in advance so you can use your cellphone to track birds from their songs. \n7\,970 species were recorded worldwide last year.  That’s good  news: 50 higher than a year ago. The data is reported on eBird\, the world’s largest biodiversity-related participatory science project. Last year 642\,003 citizen scientists from 210 countries joined the count.

SUMMARY:What Lives Here?
DESCRIPTION:Say goodbye to winter and take a walk to find some of the living things at the preserve. We’ll focus largely on names for things\, how the plants and animals work together ecologically\, but some of the time we’ll focus on experiencing the preserve with mindful\, in-the-moment awareness.\n\nThe walk is designed for anyone interested in nature\, including beginners. It is for pre-teens on up through seniors but probably wouldn’t work for younger kids. Please do not bring dogs on this walk. Remember that the trails are primitive (but we go slow). Bring water!

SUMMARY:Frog Call Night
DESCRIPTION:On this Friday night during the City Nature Challenge\, we will take a walk at the preserve starting at 8pm and visit one or two of the ponds\, listening for frog calls. And along the way\, we can listen for owls\, watch for spiders weaving webs\, and be aware of anything else that is part of the community of living things. \nWe will be documenting what we find in iNaturalist\, adding to the total number of observations at the preserve (already over two thousand species have been identified). \nPlease register as “going” by emailing us at events@friendsofscnp.org or at our Facebook page if you plan to join us\, because we need to plan for how many will attend. Since we are starting at sunset\, it will not be very dark at first but will get darker – so please remember to bring a flashlight or headlamp. Also remember that the trails are primitive and walking carefully is more important in low light. \nThe preserve is open until 10pm\, so we will get back to the parking lot by about 9:30pm\, giving us enough time to wrap up and leave.

SUMMARY:Know Your Nature Neighbors
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday morning during the City Nature Challenge\, we will take a walk at the preserve and look for flowers\, insects\, lizards hanging out in the trees\, the trees themselves\, and all the other wonderful lives at the preserve. We will be documenting what we find in iNaturalist\, adding to the total number of observations for City Nature Challenge. \nPlease register as “going” by emailing us at events@friendsofscnp.org or find the event on our Facebook page if you plan to join us\, because we need to plan for how many will attend. Remember to bring water! And a camera\, if you like. We will show you how to use iNaturalist on your smartphone if you are new to the app – or you could just walk with us without using iNaturalist. \nThe walk is planned from 9:00-10:30am. We sometimes run a little overtime\, but we’ll make sure you get back to the parking lot by 10:30 if you need to. And if you are recording observations for City Nature Challenge and want to keep going\, then you’re absolutely welcome to stay as long as you wish (until 10pm!).
