Tonight, Friday, we have FULL Night Hike program. We will listen to the sounds of the forest, especially the frogs that are abound, if they haven't gone back under the mud because of the cold : )
Tomorrow the Teens in Nature (T.I.N.) group will volunteer with Durham's own USDA People's Garden, St. Phillips Community Garden. Then we will head to the The Scrap Exchange where we will help process material. Historic King's Sandwich Shop has graciously donated lunch to us too. Here is a great clip from Bull City Rising about the history of the shop: www.bullcityrising.com/2011/03/kings-sandwich-shop-featured-in-nice-abc-11-vignette.html
Lastly on Sunday, from 2pm-4pm there will an Nature Art program. You can experience the the beauty of nature through art. See and explore colors, shapes, and patterns that make the natural world so beautiful. If you have a favorite sketch pad or colored pencils, please bring it with you.
As for our friendly frogs, the ones that you will be hearing around this time of year are the Pickeral frogs. They sounds like they are snoring. Then there are the Upland Chorus frogs and Spring Peppers. The Upland Chorus frogs can be heard here: www.musicofnature.org/home/category/amphibians/upland_chorus_frog/
