SUMMARY:BirdFest & Bluegrass Nature Journaling Walk
DESCRIPTION:BirdFest & Bluegrass Partnership Event!In this partnership between The Ridgefield Art Association and The Friends of Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge\, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy a guided walk of the refuge with paintbrush in hand!Join local artist Kathleen Sorman to learn new ways to appreciate and enjoy the beauty of the RNWR through nature journaling. We’ll begin our time together with a short walk on the Oaks to Wetland Trail. We’ll make new discoveries along the way and see how we can use these in our journals to record our findings. Then we’ll return to the Refuge Headquarters building and use our journals to learn to paint a bird with watercolors. Great class for kids 10 years or above and all adults. From Kathleen: I have always been a nature lover—camping\, hiking\, biking and sailing. I moved to the beautiful PNW fifteen years ago and call this home. I love the natural beauty we are able to see each and every day. I have been journaling for 8-10 years and enjoy getting out and focusing on different things each session—birds\, trees\, plants and flowers. My art journey began about 7 years ago with watercolor and botanical art. Currently\, I’m exploring acrylics and abstract art. The Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge is one of my favorite places to escape to—something new each visit!You will receive: A handout on nature journaling\, a watercolor journal\, a watercolor brush pen\, and the paints necessary for your first journal entry. Class is free\, but has limited space. Please register here by Friday\, October 3rd to attend. Note: There is very limited space for same-day registration on site on a first come\, first served basis. We STRONGLY recommend you secure your spot here ahead of time\, but if you’re seeing this after registration is full or closed\, please arrive at the refuge before 10 am on October 4th\, and we will let you know if there is room! Where: Ridgefield NWR Headquarters: 28908 NW Main AVE\, Ridgefield\, WA 98642 Date: Saturday\, October 4\, 2025 Time: 10:00 am Cost: FREE!

SUMMARY:Canopy Time!
DESCRIPTION:If you pay attention\, you can tell time by the forest canopy—twigs and seeds\, branches and leaves marking seasons with color\, fullness\, sway.  – Abby Braithwaite\, A Portrait of the Artist as a Crone Tree. Canopy Time walks are mostly monthly walks/rolls/rides on Plas Newydd Farm. Hosted by Abby Braithwaite and David Morgan (and some surprise guests)\, these adventures give us the chance to explore some of the most beautiful places on the farm\, and provide a deeper opportunity to feel the rhythms of the land\, observe the comings and goings of migratory birds\, watch the bud and bloom of native and invasive plants\, swat mosquitoes\, and dodge raindrops! Part nature journaling\, part phenological record-keeping\, these explorations are a great way to spend more time out on the land than some of our workshops allow. Bring your journal\, your sketchbook\, your camera and your senses. Suggested Donation of $10 collected on the farm. We’ll take cash\, check\, Venmo or a smile\, if cost is a barrier!

SUMMARY:Soup and Words – Drop-in Writing Time!
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to sit and write together! There is little I love more than sitting in a warm room with brilliant minds\, putting words on the page and sharing snippets of what we create. So I’m making the space for this in my life this year\, and I’d love to have you join me! There will be soup. There will be writing prompts. There will be time to share\, with (gentle\, loving) feedback if you want it. And there will be time to sit quietly and get some writing done. (And everyone knows reading is integral to the writing process\, so if what you need is a few hours carved out of each month with a good book and a cup of tea\, no one will be counting words produced!) Participation will be capped at 12 people\, so please RSVP to this free event so that we can keep the group size intimate and safe for sharing!
