Binoculars will be provided, but you are encouraged to bring your own if you have them. After birding, you are welcome to join Ward 8 Wood's Washington Highland Community Clean-Up from 10:30 to 1.

Join us for the School Garden Partners ’25-’26 Coaching Sessions designed for educators and school staff. Learn best practices for planning, planting, and maintaining a thriving school garden.

Join our 2026 CSA! Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a system that directly connects farmers and consumers. You can buy 'shares' of a farm's harvest in advance and then receive a portion of the crops when they are harvested. Each year we grow a diversity of vegetables - from asparagus, peaches, eggplant, figs, beans, okra, asian pears, to herbs, several varieties of local greens, and much more. To address the rising demand for fresh produce, we've teamed with other local producers to provide diverse offerings. Our sourcing strategy places a priority on bolstering predominantly local, women, and BIPOC farms and farmers.
