Join us for an evening walk, a campfire, and a rare chance to see the preserve after dark. As it starts to get dusky, we’ll walk a mile long loop around our That Makes Sense Children’s Trail learning about some of the many nocturnal animals that call Horton Grove Nature Preserve home. Then as the sun sets, we’ll make a campfire and toast some marshmallows for s’mores.
S’mores supplies are provided. Please bring your own flashlight if you have one and lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. Bug spray is also recommended.
Foodies, farmers, and conservationists connect when it comes to supporting local farms and food. Hear from all of them as we dig into how conservation affects the food we eat, the land we farm, and our community’s capacity to feed the Triangle. Fast paced-presentations, expo, and free local food and drink. Come and learn how we can improve lives through conservation!

Go Birding with Bo on October 15th on the Carr Farm side of Brumley Forest Nature Preserve. This quiet spot in Orange County isn’t open to the public yet but it’s already notorious with birders for the ample opportunities for sightings. Join TLC’s Director of Conservation and Stewardship, Bo Howes, to identify local bird species and observe them in their natural habitat. The 2-3 hour bird walk is appropriate for new birders and birders of all skill levels. Bring binoculars if you have them and snacks and water if you like. Heavy rain will result in cancellation.
