Join Arboretum and Grandfather Mountain staff on a day filled with scanning the skies for these migratory birds. There is a chance to see hundreds of migratory hawks as they fly by the mountain on their way south for the winter. During this day we will also talk about the different types of hawks and other birds of prey that migrate following the Appalachian Mountains. \nThis program will take place outside and will follow rocky paths onto the Linville Peak area. Those uncomfortable with crossing the bridge can set up a chair on the building side of the bridge but would not be present for the main counting. Bring your own chair or cushion to sit on the rocks and your binoculars or spotting scope if you have one. Dress for the weather and prepare to be outside for the entire program time with no shade. Bring a lunch and/or snacks or plan to leave the group to purchase food from Mildred’s Grill located at the Museum down the mountain a bit. \nGrandfather Mountain has been participating in HawkWatch for 17 years from the Linville Peak area near the swinging bridge. Each year they have a dedicated volunteer or staff stationed on the peak for the whole month of September to take note of each migratory bird of prey they can see fly by. \n\nMembers: Remember to enter your promo code upon checkout to receive your 10% member discount!

SUMMARY:Papermaking with Invasive Species
DESCRIPTION:Papermaking with Invasive Species\nwith Alyssa Sacora \nSaturday\, September 20  |  10 am – 4 pm \nREGISTER HERE \nPlants are all around us and some can be problematic in the landscape. What if instead of seeing these plants as a burden\, we look at them through the lens of craft and make some materials for our artwork? \nIn this one day workshop\, we will go through the process of turning Japanese Stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum) into paper. Working with dried plant material removed from the Arboretum’s landscape\, we will cut\, cook\, and pulp these plant fibers\, mix them with cotton\, and pull sheets of paper that can be used for writing\, drawing\, and paper arts. \nParticipants will get hands-on with each step of the process and make enough paper to take a small stack home. Reference materials will be provided for future papermaking explorations. \nAlyssa Sacora is a crafts person exploring plant-based mediums in the form of papermaking\, book arts\, basketry and natural dyes. She finds inspiration by observing relationships in the wider world. To reduce her human footprint and encourage creative thinking\, she primarily works with locally available and repurposed natural materials. Leaves\, vines and bark from iris\, daylily\, kudzu\, okra\, tulip poplar and willow leaves are often combined with salvaged cotton fabrics to create her palette. Her artistic pursuits are directly related to her lifestyle choices with reciprocity and mindfulness as a guiding force. In addition to and in support of her craft\, she tends a 3-acre homestead in Western North Carolina with her husband\, Adam. They grow fruits and vegetables\, medicinal herbs\, and art plants. They use solar electric and solar thermal systems for electricity and heating\, collect rain water and continuously look to design their space with sustainability in mind. Alyssa has taught for a variety of organizations in WNC and often utilizes an outside setting to help her students make the connection that we are nature and that our lives are intertwined with the plants\, the soil\, and the air around us. \n\nMembers: Remember to enter your promo code upon checkout to receive your 10% member discount!
