SUMMARY:"Winter Morning Walks" Nature Writing Class
DESCRIPTION:These writing workshops are held in partnership with Troy Hess\, the founder of On the Yahara Writing Center.  We hope to include and engage interested participants of all ages and encourage an intergenerational approach for our Pheasant Branch Conservancy education outreach. These workshops are free and are funded by the Friends of Pheasant Branch Conservancy as part of our 25th Anniversary celebration. \nThe Winter Morning Walks nature writing class is inspired by the poetry collection by the same name written by former U.S. Poet Laureate Ted Kooser. These casually observed poems are called ‘postcards’ to a friend and offer readers a very approachable form of poetry to read and consider for our own written observations as we take our local walks this winter. \nThis class will be approached as a sequence of observation and writing. Our hope is that you are able to draw from your most recent visits to the Pheasant Branch Conservancy or other hikes.  We might take take writer’s notes\, make phenological observations\, even take pictures\, then we’ll talk about ways to assemble our experiences as nature journal entries in poetry form discussed from the book. \nFor a final project\, we might create our own ‘postcard’ and share them with others or submit them for publishing in an upcoming newsletter. No need to purchase the Winter Morning Walks book. All reading will be offered as part of the class. \nParticipants will meet via zoom. \nPreregistration required\, register here.

SUMMARY:Conservancy Day: Pheasant Branch Conservancy Prairie Birds: Now and Future
DESCRIPTION:Conservancy Day programs are virtual events- PLEASE REGISTER . \nSpeakers will be Deborah Turski and Sherry Caves\, Master Naturalists and project managers.  \nHow are prairie birds doing in the Conservancy?  Local birders had noticed a decline in the numbers of at least eight species in the Conservancy since 2009. Janet Kane\, mentoring for PBC’s Wisconsin Master Naturalist (WIMN) program\, engaged Sherry Caves and Deb Turski to evaluate past data and make plans to gather future data to determine the status of these birds in the Conservancy.  A pilot survey in 2019 informed development of a five-year monitoring plan\, which will also monitor changes related to the Acker addition. This was started in 2020 with a larger team of volunteers recording data from scheduled birdwalks into the online eBird program.  Join us to learn about this project\, what the data indicates\, and how it may impact restoration planning. \nBiography:  Janet Kane is a long-time volunteer with the Friends. In addition to being a faculty member of the Friends’ WIMN program\, she has made many contributions to the Friends’ restoration and education programs and served on ad hoc committees addressing special issues in the Conservancy. \nDeb Turski is a 2019 graduate of the Friends’ WIMN program. Inspired by her love of birds and birding\, she is active in conservation advocacy and citizen science through the Friends and many other organizations. \nConservancy Day programs are Virtual. Please register for the zoom link HERE. \nCan’t attend live? Not a problem. We will post links to the recordings on our  YouTube Channel\, Facebook page and here afterwards. \nEvery Conservancy Day is: \n\nFree — thanks to your donations and membership as a Friend\nOpen to the public\nFor all ages unless a specific age group is given in the program description\nDiverse topics — More than 400 participants each year enjoy topics ranging from wildlife\, science\, resource management\, natural and cultural history and current community issues\n\nMark your calendars for these inspiring and special events the third Thursday of each month\, from January through November.
