We will start by selecting an area just off the parking lot in the meadow area, perhaps by a blooming golden rod or grassy seed heads, and watch the late fall pollinator activity while sketching the moment on paper. Sketch the amazing landscapes or botanical creatures nearby, or bring a camera and binoculars and just observe. During the last hour, there will be an optional short night hike on the universally accessible trail.What to Expect: There is a level walk from the parking lot to the nearby meadow area. Sunset is at 6:33 p.m. The optional night hike will be on the approximately 1-mile universally accessible lollipop trail.
Event Leaders: Mary Patterson is an Interpretive Ranger with Lancaster Conservancy who loves wildflowers and butterflies amongst the many other wonderful things that can be discovered in nature. Sketching and watercolor is a beloved hobby.
Interpretive Ranger Craig Lehman believes it’s all about connection: connection to each other, connection to community, and connection to nature. He enjoys facilitating outdoor experiences that enhance those connections and create positive change.
What to Bring: Bring a chair or blanket and simple art supplies such as a pencil, sketch pad, color pencils, or watercolor set (keep it minimal). Binoculars are optional. Sturdy, closed-toe shoes are highly recommended.
