Backyard Wildlife: Safety and Rehabilitation with Raven Ridge will take place on Friday, Oct. 3, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Attendees will discover how animals arrive at a rehabilitation center, what happens during their care, and the process that leads to their release back into the wild. The program will also cover essential safety guidelines for helping wildlife, how to recognize when an animal needs and doesn't need help, and simple ways to support local wildlife rehab centers. A question-and-answer session will close the program.

Teas & Trees: Early Fall Foraging Walk will be held on Sunday, Oct. 5, from 10 a.m. to noon. The program will explore items that can be harvested in the early fall for food or other uses, such as wildcrafting and medicine. Ethical foraging will be emphasized. Both beginners and those with foraging experience are welcome.

Kitchen Table Art: Making Plant Prints will be offered on Oct. 5 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Using simple materials like crayons, watercolor, ink pads, and collected plant materials, attendees will learn ways to creatively record and preserve the details of plants from the wild or their garden and create take-home pieces. Participants will also discuss how to prepare plants to print and what makes a good plant to print from, and there will be a demonstration of how to turn plant prints into functional items such as bookmarks or note cards or how to incorporate plant printing into a nature journal. No experience is necessary to participate in the program.
