Friday, April 26 City Nature Challenge Kick-Off and Volunteer Drive
March 20, 2019 | Posted in Uncategorized | By Alexandria Searls
Friday, April 26, 5-6:30 PM, come learn about the City Nature Challenge 2019! We’re going to lead hikes and teach guests how to use iNaturalist, the app that records your observations for the challenge. (The more observations, the more your city meets the challenge! And it just happens to be Arbor Day, so trees will be part of the festivities!) The event is free and a way to learn about how to participate in other free events that weekend.

We’re also introducing ourselves to potential volunteers for 2019. If you’re a Master Naturalist, a Master Gardener, and/or someone with a love of the outdoors and/or gardening, please drop by to learn about us! Refreshments provided!

The Lewis & Clark Exploratory Center is participating in the Tom Tom Festival this year! Here is the write-up for our event with our partner Chroma Projects.
Immersion / Inversion: A Rivanna River Sensory Encounter is a projected environment where visitors are invited to enter and lay on the floor to experience a gauzy, fish-eye view of the river, gazing up through Alexandria Searls’ award-winning underwater film footage. Alexandria threads in footage captured by children in the Lewis and Clark Exploratory Center’s video journaling workshops. It is a transporting dream-like audiovisual environment enhanced by Morgan McLeod’s sonic water composition.
